The AFK Farming Software: I Became Invincible Without Knowing It

by Stayrr

Qi Ming woke up to find that he had transmigrated. He had become a disciple of the Green Cloud Peak, one of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Fortunately, the “AFK Farming Software” was activated and changed his life. “Ding!” “You had been AFK Farming for seven days in the game dungeon ‘Shu Mountain Ancient Path’. You have cleared the game dungeon seven times. You

Chapter 129: Shangguan Wenge

"Your name is Shangguan Wenge, and I'm your Young Master?" Qi Ming frowned, "Who are you?"

"It makes sense that Young Master does not know me."

Shangguan Wenge knelt on the ground and did not get up, "Because I was originally only an ordinary servant in the Heaven Secrets Manor."

"Perhaps even Patriarch Heaven Secrets doesn't know me."

"I'm just thick-skinned enough to call myself that."

"But…"

"Time passed."

"It has been 38,980 years since the day that Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone. In the Heaven Secrets Manor, the disciples of Patriarch Heaven Secrets and the servants have either left, died, or disappeared."

"Now…"

"Only an old man like me is left. If there's nothing to do, I'll come to this Heaven Secrets Manor to clean up."

"38,980 years?" Qi Ming was indeed shocked. He did not expect that this ordinary-looking old man in front of him had actually lived for so long. He was completely a true old monster.

He was actually Patriarch Heaven Secrets's servant?

Unbelievable.

However, Qi Ming felt that this old man's words were quite inconsistent.

"Young Master." Shangguan Wenge continued, "After guarding the Heaven Secrets Manor for so many years, this old servant has finally waited for Young Master. I've also finally completed the agreement I made with Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

"Now, the contract is over."

"At this moment, the debt has been repaid."

"I'll hand the Heaven Secrets Manor to you, Young Master."

"What do you mean?" Qi Ming asked.

"Exactly what I said." Shangguan Wenge stood up and took out another thing. It was a jade book and a jade brush. He handed it to Qi Ming respectfully.

"Young Master, please accept it."

Shangguan Wenge continued, "This is the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush. It's the supreme treasure of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's Heaven Secrets lineage. As for how to use it and what to use it for, when the time comes, Young Master will naturally know."

Qi Ming originally wanted to reject it, but he instinctively caught the pure white jade book and jade brush.

"Good, good, good."

Shangguan Wenge laughed endlessly, and his eyes were filled with joy and relief. After he finished doing this, he took a deep breath and looked at Qi Ming before walking out of the courtyard step by step.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

With every step back, the aura on his body rose by a major realm. In the blink of an eye, he took a few steps back and his cultivation directly rose to the Nascent Soul realm.

Then, the Leaving Aperture realm, Soul Formation realm…

A phenomenon appeared.

A faint pitch-black spiritual Dharma Idol appeared.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

The rising aura on Shangguan Wenge's body stopped.

Buzz!

Above Shangguan Wenge's head, a huge array appeared, in the form of the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang. It contained incomparably profound mysteries, turning into various seals that fused into Shangguan Wenge's body.

He returned to his original cultivationless state.

"No! No! No!"

At this moment, Shangguan Wenge was furious. He was completely furious as if he had gone mad. His eyes were red and he was extremely furious. He roared at the sky and cursed at the top of the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain.

"Old Man Heaven Secrets, f*ck your ancestors!"

Shangguan Wenge spat, "I curse you to be infertile but have a lot of descendants. You son of a bitch, why don't you die? Why aren't you dead yet?"

"I curse you, you bastard!"

"Bastard!"

"You've tricked me for nearly 40,000 years, but you still aren't willing to let me off. You clearly said that I only need to guard the Heaven Secrets Manor. After you take in a personal disciple and hand the entire Heaven Secrets Manor to your disciple, you will give me freedom and all debts will be returned."

"In the end…"

"What you said is f*cking nonsense!"

"Pure bullsh*t!"

"…"

He cursed for more than half an hour.

There was no movement from the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone.

In addition…

Shangguan Wenge seemed to be tired from cursing too. He sat on the ground and gasped for breath. His face was red and he could no longer speak.

It was obvious that he was furious.

Qi Ming stood at the side and saw all of this. He could not help but laugh, but he roughly understood what was going on.

First, the old man in front of him was definitely not as simple as an ordinary old man. He was a powerful old monster with an unfathomable cultivation.

It was likely that Shangguan Wenge had lost to Patriarch Heaven Secrets. That was why he was controlled like this. Patriarch Heaven Secrets let Shangguan Wenge guard the Heaven Secrets Manor and promised to give him freedom.

In the end, Shangguan Wenge was tricked by Patriarch Heaven Secrets.

Patriarch Heaven Secrets clearly did not plan to let Shangguan Wenge off like this.

Qi Ming coughed lightly and asked, "Why don't we go in and have a seat?"

"For what?"

Shangguan Wenge raised his head and looked at Qi Ming, "I feel like vomiting when I see that old thing's manor. Moreover, I've been facing this Heaven Secrets Manor for more than 30,000 years every day and can't go away for a hundred meters. Where else do you think I'm interested in going?"

"That's true." Qi Ming smiled. "If it's not troublesome, can you tell me about the situation of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's Heaven Secrets lineage? And about my master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets?"

"Since I'm Master's personal disciple, perhaps later on, when my cultivation level increases, I'll have a way to remove the restriction on you?"

"You?" Shangguan Wenge raised his head and looked at Qi Ming. He sized him up a few times and thought for a moment before saying, "That's not without reason. That old thing, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, might be a son of a bitch who can't stop lying, he might not keep his promise and his words are like farts…"

Another series of cursing sounded.

"But… That old thing's standards are quite high. According to what I know, up until now, including you, he has only taken three disciples."

"Moreover, you're the only personal disciple."

"The other two are not personal disciples."

"Tsk tsk."

Shangguan Wenge was clearly interested. He stood up and patted the dust on his body, "Good kid. I didn't think about it carefully just now. Now it seems that you're not simple. You can directly make that old thing, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, take you in as his personal disciple."

"Interesting."

Shangguan Wenge pinched his chin with his right hand and circled Qi Ming a few times.

Qi Ming's expression did not change. He did not care about Shangguan Wenge's scrutinizing gaze and instead asked, "Where are my two senior brothers now?"

"Dead." Shangguan Wenge shrugged, "They're both dead."

"Didn't you want to ask about the situation of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's Heaven Secrets lineage?"

Shangguan Wenge continued, "Ever since Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone, many things have happened in the past tens of thousands of years because they lost the protection of Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

"The people from the Heaven Secrets Manor have either left, died or gone missing."

"Now… The Heaven Enlightenment Sect no longer has any Heaven Secrets lineage. If not for the imprisonment, I would have left long ago. How can I still stay in this lousy place?"

"So I'm the only one left?" Qi Ming asked.

"Yes." Shangguan Wenge nodded.

"That's good."

Qi Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

"What?" Shangguan Wenge was stunned, "Kid, what's wrong with you? The Heaven Secrets lineage has already declined to this extent, but you look quite happy?"

"Are you really the personal disciple of that old thing, Patriarch Heaven Secrets? Even if you just accepted him, you don't know this kind of situation, right? Don't tell me you have a grudge with that old thing?"

"Of course not." Qi Ming shook his head, "Moreover, I'm indeed Patriarch Heaven Secrets's personal disciple."

"Also…" Qi Ming's gaze turned indifferent, "Shangguan Wenge, since you're an old servant of the Heaven Secrets Manor and call me Young Master, and Patriarch Heaven Secrets is my master, if you continue to speak ill of my master in front of me…"

"Don't blame me for teaching you a lesson on behalf of Master."

"Good kid."

Shangguan Wenge raised his eyebrows. "Although my cultivation level is sealed now, you want to deal with me with your late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation? I'm afraid it won't work."

"Five Lightning Control."

Boom!

Qi Ming did not waste his breath. He raised his right hand and spread his fingers. He circulated his divine power mystic technique. The power of five lightning gathered in his palm and directly struck.

Crack!!!

"This is…"

Shangguan Wenge was shocked. He wanted to dodge, but the Five-Blow-Thunderstruck was too fast. Moreover, this was a Great Divine Power. Coupled with the fusion of the Great Dao True Intent, Shangguan Wenge discovered that he could not resolve it at all.

"What is this?!"

"Ah!!!" Shangguan Wenge screamed. His entire body was charred black, and his hair stood on end. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of black qi before falling straight down.

After a moment, Shangguan Wenge crawled up.

"You… you're really only at the late-stage Core Formation realm?"

Shangguan Wenge could only be considered to have suffered some superficial injuries. His physical body strength had already reached an unimaginable level, "That move just now doesn't look like it can be used by a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivator."

"What divine power spell is that? You grasped the power of five lightning and even contained the Dao Insight of heaven and earth? How on earth did you do it? It's too unbelievable. I've never seen it."

"Could it be that you're a reincarnated Immortal King? Or could it be that you seized possession of a body and cultivated again? That's not right. If you're seized and cultivated again, you should be discovered."

"How strange…"

Shangguan Wenge frowned and pondered.

Qi Ming glanced at Shangguan Wenge. He had been locked up here for too long. Although it was not very obvious, he felt that his mental state was a little abnormal.

Next, Qi Ming began to familiarize himself with the Heaven Secrets Manor.

For the time being, he did not discover anything too profound about the Heaven Secrets Manor. For example, like the Sect Master Hall, it could form a space of its own. He did not find any hidden treasures or grotto-heavens.

The entire building was vast.

It was similar to the architectural style of a large courtyard house.

It was formed by many courtyard houses that were connected to each other. There were also many courtyards, including the front courtyard, backyard, east courtyard, west courtyard, main courtyard, side courtyard, hidden courtyard, cultivation courtyard, and so on.

Unknowingly, night had already arrived.

Qi Ming stayed in the main courtyard. Originally, Qi Ming planned to let Shangguan Wenge stay in a room in a side courtyard, but Shangguan Wenge refused to go. He would rather stay outside and eat outdoors.

He was very disdainful of the place.

Qi Ming did not force him.

Late at night, Qi Ming took out the Heaven Secrets Book, the Heaven Secrets Brush, and the Heaven Secrets Manor Token. He prepared to study them and see what secrets were hidden inside.

Chapter 130: The Declined Heaven Secrets Lineage

Qi Ming studied it carefully for an entire night. He even used divine powers and many methods. He did not find anything, nor did he find any secrets hidden within.

This made Qi Ming feel quite helpless.

He was a little disappointed.

He thought that there would be something good hidden in the Heaven Secrets Book and Heaven Secrets Brush.

In the end, there was nothing.

What a waste of his emotions.

"I don't think so."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and thought to himself, "This is something that Master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, asked Shangguan Wenge to protect. Moreover, it has been safeguarded for a full tens of thousands of years. There must be a huge secret hidden inside. It's just that I can't come into contact with it now. Or rather, I don't have the right to know."

"As Shangguan Wenge said, the time is not ripe!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ming did not hesitate anymore.

Swish!

With a thought, he put the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush into his inventory.

Fortunately, although the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush did not give him anything, after Qi Ming completely refined the Heaven Secrets Manor Token, he obtained a cultivation technique and a divine power spell technique.

This was the inheritance his master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, had taught Qi Ming.

The cultivation technique was the Book of Changes Divination Scripture.

The divine power spell technique was the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power.

Qi Ming was the personal disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's Patriarch Heaven Secrets. Logically speaking, he naturally had to inherit his legacy. If the Heaven Secrets lineage did not decline, Qi Ming could still borrow the power and resources of the lineage.

Unfortunately…

The Heaven Enlightenment Sect's Heaven Secrets lineage was almost completely gone. Almost no one in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect cultivated the cultivation method of the Heaven Secrets lineage. Basically, only Qi Ming was left.

Qi Ming was happy and relaxed about this.

This was because if Qi Ming was alone, he did not have to deal with various interpersonal relationships, nor did he have to deal with his senior brothers and junior brothers or the elders in the sect.

He could stay in the Heaven Secrets Manor and cultivate in peace.

Otherwise, it would be busy.

"I'll charge a million low-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said, "The second AFK Farming slot will cultivate the Book of Changes Divination Scripture."

Ding!

"Cultivating the Book of Changes Divination Scripture under the enhancement of 100,000 times…"

A notification appeared.

"I'll charge a million low-grade spirit stones."

Qi Ming continued, "The third AFK Farming slot cultivates the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power."

…

In the following period of time, Qi Ming stayed in the Heaven Secrets Manor and did not go out again. He cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture, the Book of Changes Divination Scripture, and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power every day.

Although he did not want to be too high-profile in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, news about him still gradually spread.

Over the years, there were too few legacy disciples who could obtain the recognition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's ancestor. Most of the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain took the Grand Elders as their masters.

Qi Ming was different.

Patriarch Heaven Secrets had come out of the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone. His intrinsic treasure, the Heaven Secrets Compass, had crossed space and descended to the Sect Master Hall to take Qi Ming as his personal disciple.

This kind of thing had only happened four times.

Coupled with Qi Ming, it was already the fifth time.

Of course, Patriarch Heaven Secrets was not the one who showed up in those four times, but the other two ancestors of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. These two ancestors sealed themselves in the other two forbidden areas.

After this news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Basically, they knew that Qi Ming had actually obtained the attention of Patriarch Heaven Secrets and successfully became his disciple.

This was indeed not a small matter or a small topic.

Therefore, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect began to discuss this matter.

"Actually, we don't have to pay too much attention to it. Tens of thousands of years ago, Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone. It's basically impossible for him to appear. Qi Ming has taken on Patriarch Heaven Secrets as his master, but that only means that he's more famous."

"That's right."

"Moreover, the Heaven Secrets lineage has long declined. In the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect, basically no one cultivates the cultivation methods and spells of the Heaven Secrets lineage. Qi Ming can be considered to be alone."

"If there's a chance, I want to see Qi Ming's ability."

"I want to see it too."

"…"

The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect said one after another.

During this period of time, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect came to the Heaven Secrets Manor. On the surface, they visited Qi Ming, but they actually wanted to challenge him.

Qi Ming rejected their visit with the excuse of cultivating in seclusion.

He was only at the late-stage Core Formation realm, and these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were basically all at the Leaving Aperture realm or even the Soul Formation realm.

The difference in realm was huge.

Even if Qi Ming rejected it, the Grand Elders would not say anything.

This did not make the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect restrain themselves. Instead, it made them worse. They felt that Qi Ming was easy to bully and wanted to force him out.

"That's enough."

Until… a month later.

Su Qingyin came to visit Qi Ming. As the Sect Master's personal disciple, she ordered these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to retreat. Only then did this matter become a little more restrained.

"Qi Ming, what's the use of hiding behind a woman?"

"Yes, yes."

"Qi Ming, if you have the guts, come out and fight us. No matter if you win or lose, at the very least, you can prove that you're not a coward."

"I heard that you fought against the siege of dozens of legacy descendants of the various major factions with a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation in the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. Moreover, you even killed many of them. Such strength and talent even earned you the title of number one among the younger generation."

"How famous is this?"

"But are you afraid now?"

"You don't even dare to spar with the sect now?"

"Ridiculous."

In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, these words began to circulate.

They were deliberately forcing Qi Ming to submit.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"Senior Brother Qi, are you alright?"

Su Qingyin asked in concern, "You don't have to care about what they say at all. You've just entered the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain to cultivate, and they've already entered it for so many years. They actually dare to brazenly challenge you. They're really too shameless."

"Junior Sister Su." Qi Ming smiled and did not answer Su Qingyin. Instead, he asked, "Why do you have time to come here?"

"Master asked me to see you." Su Qingyin said.

"Oh." Qi Ming said, "Help me thank the Sect Master."

"Sigh…" Su Qingyin sighed, "Actually, I feel that you shouldn't acknowledge Patriarch Heaven Secrets as your master. Among the six Grand Elders, no matter who you choose, it's better than choosing Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

"That's because Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the forbidden zone and cannot help you."

"Look at the situation now, although you've become Patriarch Heaven Secrets's personal disciple, you seem quite powerful at a glance. Your status is higher than ours."

"But in fact, it's not like that at all."

"In the Heaven Secrets lineage, you're the only one left, right? The other two ancestors are a little better. At the very least, they're not as small as the Heaven Secrets lineage."

"If you acknowledge any Grand Elder as your master, under such circumstances, you can still have a fellow disciple from the same lineage help you."

"In the current situation, the senior brothers and sisters who are from the Green Cloud Peak with you don't dare to speak up for you."

"Now… You can only face them alone."

"It's fine."

Qi Ming smiled. "I don't plan to go out anyway. Moreover, their mouths belong to them. If they want to scream, let them. Do you think I can control their mouths?"

"Although that's the case…" Su Qingyin pursed her lips.

"Alright."

Qi Ming waved his hand, "Junior Sister Su, can it be that we don't have to talk about these unhappy things after meeting? How's your cultivation recently?"

"Not bad."

Su Qingyin shrugged. "I obtained the inheritance in the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. It seems to have awakened my past life's wisdom. I've already cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm."

"So fast." Qi Ming was a little surprised, "Congratulations, Junior Sister."

"I still cannot compare to you." Su Qingyin said, "Although I'm at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, if I really fight you, I won't even be able to withstand a single move. You're simply a monster."

"I heard from Master that you dealt with dozens of legacy descendants of the various large factions alone. Moreover, every one of them is at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm, while you're only at the late-stage Core Formation realm."

"With such strength, you're too fierce and too strong."

"I was shocked when I heard that."

"It's not that they're not strong enough. It's just that they met me." Qi Ming said.

"Senior Brother Qi, you're so funny." Su Qingyin smiled.

"I'm telling the truth." Qi Ming said.

"Oh… okay." Su Qingyin replied.

"Junior Sister Su." Qi Ming asked, "Why do you think these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect insist on staring at me? I don't remember offending them, right?"

"I'm not sure about that."

Su Qingyin thought for a moment, "Senior Brother Qi, although you haven't offended them, you're the personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets. This title is very famous."

"If they can defeat you, even if it's an unfair victory, it's still something worth flaunting to them."

"There will always be some people who want to stand out."

"Also…" Su Qingyin pondered for a moment and said carefully, "I… I heard that. It means that several Grand Elders want to probe the Heaven Secrets lineage, so they let these legacy disciples take the lead."

Qi Ming's eyes flashed as he pondered.

There was actually such a thing.

The Grand Elders were probing?

They chatted for a while more before Su Qingyin left.

Although the Heaven Secrets lineage had declined and only Qi Ming was left alone, there was actually another old monster, Shangguan Wenge.

This old monster was a figure from the same era as Patriarch Heaven Secrets.

However…

Qi Ming could not order him.

Shangguan Wenge was also happy to see Qi Ming make a fool of himself. He even came to laugh at Qi Ming every day for no reason, clearly wanting to be a bystander.

Qi Ming knew that because of the restriction and limitation, Shangguan Wenge could not leave the range of a hundred meters from the Heaven Secrets Manor. If anyone trespassed, he had to take action and expel them.

Thus, Qi Ming dared to stay in the Heaven Secrets Manor every day.

There was Shangguan Wenge guarding it so the Heaven Secrets Manor was the safest place.

If anyone dared to come in, Shangguan Wenge would naturally teach them a lesson.

"So what do the Grand Elders want to probe?"

Qi Ming guessed in his heart, "Do they want to test Shangguan Wenge? I'm afraid he's the only one worth probing.. They won't dare to anger Master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

Chapter 131: Entry Level of the Three Pure Dao Scripture

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On this day, in the afternoon.

Two more legacy disciples arrived outside the Heaven Secrets Manor.

As usual, they had to be polite before resorting to force.

They first came to visit Qi Ming politely and wanted to spar with him, but Qi Ming refused to accept any visits again with the excuse of cultivating in seclusion.

This time however, these two legacy disciples did not leave. Instead, they planned to forcefully enter the Heaven Secrets Manor. After exchanging a glance, they directly entered without Qi Ming's permission.

"Shangguan Wenge." Qi Ming smiled. He was waiting for this situation to happen, "It's your turn to shine."

"These pieces of trash." Shangguan Wenge's expression darkened.

The next moment, he appeared in front of these two legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

"Who?!"

The two legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were shocked.

"You two pieces of trash."

Boom!

Shangguan Wenge waved his right hand, and a terrifying force surged out, directly throwing these two legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect out of the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"Ah!!!" Terrified screams sounded.

"Get lost!" Shangguan Wenge roared.

"Run… run…"

The two legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect revealed shocked expressions. Without any hesitation, they transformed into two streaks of light and fled in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you."

Qi Ming walked over and bowed to Shangguan Wenge.

"Hmph!"

Shangguan Wenge was not in a good mood at all.

He did not want to reply to Qi Ming.

As long as someone trespassed into the Heaven Secrets Manor, Shangguan Wenge could unleash his strength. According to the strength of the intruder, he could unleash different levels of strength.

It was very humanized and automated.

After this matter, those legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect restrained themselves a lot. They did not expect that the Heaven Secrets lineage, which had almost completely declined, actually still had hidden trump cards.

It was indeed surprising.

There were still experts guarding the Heaven Secrets Manor.

This way, if they continued to provoke, they would have to think twice.

Soon, the news about the Heaven Secrets Manor reached the ears of the Grand Elders.

"It should be Shangguan Wenge."

"This is a ruthless existence. At that time, he was known as the Godfiend who poisoned more than half of the Southern Region. It even caused the cultivation of the Southern Region's Divine Dao to completely decline. If not for the help of Patriarch Heaven Secrets, who spent a lot of effort and paid a huge price to set up layers of inescapable nets, I'm afraid no one would have been able to deal with him."

"He's indeed still alive."

"Over the past tens of thousands of years, he has always been disguised as an ordinary old man to guard the Heaven Secrets Manor."

The Grand Elders of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect discussed this matter.

In the following period of time, the matters regarding Qi Ming also gradually faded out. He had never walked out of the Heaven Secrets Manor and had always been in seclusion to cultivate. Coupled with the fact that Shangguan Wenge was the guard, no legacy disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect came to provoke him.

Of course, this was also what Qi Ming wanted to see.

Or rather…

Those Grand Elders had already probed what they wanted to know.

Therefore, they restrained themselves.

Over the past month, Qi Ming had indeed been provoked and insulted many times. Although he did not say anything, he remembered everything. As long as the time came, Qi Ming would naturally seek revenge.

If he was beaten, he would naturally retaliate.

He naturally had to retaliate after being scolded.

It was impossible to endure.

Even if he endured it, that was only temporary.

Time passed quickly.

Spring passed and autumn came.

Unknowingly, a year later.

On this day, the weather was not bad.

Noon.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Ding!

"Spirit Pet: Black Flame Flood Dragon grew for a year under the enhancement of 100,000 times. It successfully cultivated the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture and the Yinglong Nine Transformations. Its cultivation level has reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm."

A notification appeared.

A smile appeared on Qi Ming's face, "In a year, Black Flame has finally begun to grow. It's already at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. It won't be long before it grows to the Leaving Aperture realm."

Ding!

"The Book of Changes Divination Scripture has been cultivated for a year under the enhancement of 100,000 times. You have already condensed the Book of Changes Dao Foundation and the Book of Changes Golden Core, reaching the limit of your current realm."

A notification appeared.

Boom! Boom!

Qi Ming entered an incomparably profound state. He was comprehending the mysteries of the Book of Changes Divination Scripture. He had already comprehended and understood all the various comprehensions and mysteries of the scripture.

Originally…

If anyone else wanted to cultivate the Book of Changes Divination Scripture, they would have to give up the cultivation technique they had cultivated in the past and switch to the Book of Changes Divination Scripture.

However, Qi Ming did not need to do so.

This was because Qi Ming cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture. He cultivated the Dao and comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth which contained everything.

Qi Ming could directly cultivate the Book of Changes Divination Scripture. Moreover, it would not affect the Connate Purity Golden Core and the Formless Golden Core. Instead, he had cultivated the Book of Changes Dao Foundation and Golden Core in his dantian.

Because it was the third Golden Core, it was even more difficult. Coupled with the fact that the Book of Changes Divination Scripture was an extremely profound cultivation method, it took a year.

The Book of Changes allowed him to cultivate and explain the Eight Trigrams Dao.

It was used to calculate the workings of the heavens and deduce changes.

Soon, Qi Ming had already successfully cultivated the Book of Changes Dao Foundation and Golden Core. In his dantian, under the control of the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture, the Book of Changes Dao Foundation had fused with the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.

The Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core floated in the center of the Dao Foundation.

The Formless Golden Core and the Book of Changes Golden Core flanked it.

They were like its subjects and were fully submitted to it.

The reason why Patriarch Heaven Secrets was alarmed and even used his Intrinsic Dharma treasure, the Heaven Secrets Compass, was because Qi Ming had used the Future Sight and the Heavenly Observation back then. He had seen the derivation of the heavens and the chance to survive in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, he had personally accepted Qi Ming as his personal disciple.

This was his only personal disciple.

"Three Golden Cores."

Qi Ming took a deep breath and sensed the situation of the three Golden Cores in his body, "If this matter is spread, it will probably shock all the cultivators in the world."

"That's because no cultivator has ever been able to cultivate three Golden Cores."

"But I succeeded."

As long as Qi Ming was willing, he could mainly use the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core and supplement all the Core Formation methods in the world. He could cultivate as many Golden Cores as he wanted.

However…

There was no need for that.

This was because no matter how many Golden Cores one cultivated, he would only be at the Golden Core realm. It was not so easy to cause a qualitative change.

Ding!

"The Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power has been cultivated for a year under the enhancement of 100,000 times. It has already reached the limit of my current realm and cultivated to the Large Success Stage."

A third notification appeared.

"Large Success Stage?"

Qi Ming pondered, "Shouldn't the realm of spells be Perfection or Mastered?"

Then, all kinds of comprehension regarding the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power immediately surged into his mind. Qi Ming entered an incomparably profound state again, as if he had cultivated for a long time without sleep or rest.

"I see."

Qi Ming understood. "The Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power is not a spell technique, but a Lesser Divine Power. The Sword Control Technique and Sword Qi Slash that I cultivated in the past are all realm-based spells. Their power is relatively ordinary. They are suitable for cultivators of different realms to cultivate and master cultivation methods."

"The cultivation level of the realm-based spells is divided into Beginner, Mastered, Outstanding, and Perfection. However, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power is a Lesser Divine Power. It's divided into Beginner, Small Success, Large Success, Perfection, and Profound. It's a level higher than the realm spells."

"For now, I'm at the late-stage Core Formation realm. I can only cultivate the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power to this extent."

"Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang."

Qi Ming waved his right hand and circulated his Dharmic powers. Immediately, a Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang disc appeared out of thin air in front of him. There was a mysterious flow of heavenly secrets.

If Qi Ming combined the two mystic technique divine powers of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, the power of the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power would reach an even more unbelievable level.

"Not bad, not bad."

Qi Ming was very satisfied.

Ding!

"The Three Pure Dao Scripture has been cultivated for a year under the enhancement of 100,000 times. You have comprehended the profundity of the Dao Scripture and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. You have successfully reached the entry level of the Three Pure Dao Scripture."

Another notification appeared.

"It's been a year."

Qi Ming took a deep breath and sighed in his heart, "After spending so much time, I've finally reached the entry level of the Three Pure Dao Scripture. It's not easy."

In a year, cultivating according to the enhancement of 100,000 times was equivalent to comprehending the Three Pure Dao Scripture for an entire 100,000 years.

Such a length of time was quite exaggerated.

In fact, only a year had passed.

It was uncertain if he could even live 100,000 years.

Even if it was a pig, a dog, or even an ant, after a full 100,000 years, they should have reached a certain level of achievement.

But in fact, this was impossible.

If a cultivator's aptitude was insufficient, there would be a cultivation bottleneck. Before the opportunity arrived, it was very difficult to break through the bottleneck. If one could not break through the bottleneck, their realm would not be able to increase. As time passed, their lifespan would be insufficient and they would eventually die of old age, their life returning to the world.

Therefore…

There was no such thing as a pig comprehending for a hundred thousand years.

It would have died of old age unless it obtained a huge opportunity.

Only Qi Ming had the AFK Farming Software and had such an opportunity. He could forcefully comprehend the Three Pure Dao Scripture for so long as a mortal.

This was unique to him.

At this moment, Qi Ming entered an extremely profound state. This situation surpassed the previous situation as various comprehensions of the Three Pure Dao Scripture surged into his mind.

He seemed to have truly understood something.

All kinds of mysteries and confusion in the past were all unraveled.

Chapter 132: Ten Years Later

Qi Ming indeed had a rather deep understanding of the Three Pure Dao Scripture. He had already understood some of the obscure texts and profundities, so he learned that the Three Pure Dao Scripture was an unprecedented Nascent Formation method.

The origins of the Three Pure Dao Scripture were already impossible to determine. It was utterly unknown where it came from. Perhaps it was created by an unknown mighty existence, or perhaps it was a Dao Scripture nurtured by the heavens and the earth.

These were only Qi Ming's guesses.

No matter what, Qi Ming had already reached the entry level of the Three Pure Dao Scripture. Next, he would continue to cultivate the Three Pure Dao Scripture. He would use the profoundness of the Three Pure Dao Scripture and the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core as the foundation.

He would shatter his Golden Core into a Nascent Soul.

At that time, he could enter the Nascent Soul realm.

After a moment, Qi Ming woke up.

"Three Pure Dao Scripture." Qi Ming muttered softly, his eyes already understanding, "Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things… This is a Great Dao truth that everyone knows."

"However…"

"Knowing is different from understanding."

"This is like…"

"You know that one plus one equals two, but it's very difficult to explain why one plus one equals two. It's very difficult to prove this basic answer."

"That's the reason."

In his body, the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core flowed with the Great Dao True Intent. The mystic technique and Dao Insight contained in the Three Pure Dao Scripture were also gradually affecting the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core.

Vaguely, it was as if three ethereal and faint phantoms were faintly discernible around the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core.

In the blink of an eye, time flew again. Spring passed and autumn arrived.

Unknowingly, ten years later.

To an ordinary mortal, it sounded like a long time, but to a cultivator who had cultivated successfully, it was only an instant.

Perhaps he would enter seclusion and a hundred years would pass in the human world.

For the past ten years, many things occurred in the outside world, but nothing major happened. Moreover, Qi Ming ignored everything and was only focused on cultivating in the Heaven Secrets Manor. He knew even less.

Yuan Feng had cultivated to the ninth-grade Golden Core realm a year ago and even passed the assessment of the legacy disciples of the Green Cloud Peak to become a legacy disciple.

It was a joyous occasion.

In addition…

Three years ago, a demon disaster had happened in the Green Dragon Empire under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Link Peak. This demon disaster was deliberately instigated by the Myriad Demon Cave. In fact, there was another secret.

Because of this, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had a small conflict with the Myriad Demon Cave.

It caused many casualties.

Everything else was fine.

Ding!

"The Three Pure Dao Scripture has been cultivated for ten years under the enhancement of 100,000 times. Congratulations, host. You have already successfully learned the Three Pure Dao Scripture. You have comprehended the True Intent of the Great Dao, the profundity of the Dao, and the True Intent of the Three Pure Ones. Your Golden Core has shattered into the Nascent Soul, establishing the Three Pure Dao Nascent Soul, and your cultivation level has broken through to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm."

A notification appeared.

"It's been ten years."

Qi Ming took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face, "I entered the sect in a year and reached the Nascent Soul realm in ten years. I've been AFK Farming in the Heaven Secrets Manor for more than ten years and I've finally broken through."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming sat cross-legged. He had entered an incomparably profound state. All kinds of comprehension surged into his mind. The mysteries of the Three Pure Dao Scripture were being comprehended one by one.

In ten years, cultivating under the enhancement of 100,000 times, It was equivalent to comprehending the Three Pure Dao Scripture for a million years. If he cultivated normally, it would be enough to become an immortal.

But in fact, that was not the case.

As mentioned previously, every realm of cultivation had a bottleneck. If one could not break through the bottleneck, they would never be able to break through. In the end, they would only die because their lifespan was exhausted.

It was impossible for him to cultivate for so long.

Every time he broke through a bottleneck, not only did he need time, but he also needed the corresponding opportunities.

If he only used time to build it, it required a long time to slowly grind.

Crack! Crack!

In his dantian, 24 cracks appeared on Qi Ming's Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core. Every crack corresponded to the Great Dao True Marks engraved on the Golden Core.

It slowly cracked open.

It was like seeing 24-layered flower petals.

Immediately, the Great Dao True Intent that Qi Ming had comprehended, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Dao Insight of the Three Pure Ones, and various comprehensions gathered towards the cracked Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core like invisible air currents.

Time passed.

Not long after, the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core completely shattered. The power of the Great Dao Golden Core fused with Qi Ming and condensed into three Nascent Souls.

They sat cross-legged and closed their eyes.

They sat on the twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus together.

This was known as the Three Pure Nascent Soul.

From right to left, they were: Jade Pure Nascent Soul, Supreme Pure Nascent Soul, and Grand Pure Nascent Soul.

Although three Nascent Souls had condensed, they were connected and resonated with each other. The Three Pure Nascent Souls were originally one, evolved from Qi Ming's Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core and the Three Pure Dao Scripture.

In addition…

This also conformed to the true meaning of 'Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, and Three begets all things'.

"Condense!" Qi Ming shouted.

In his dantian, the Three Pure Nascent Soul shone and turned into an extremely terrifying black hole. The surrounding Dharmic powers and spirit energy were all sucked in before the illusory Nascent Soul gradually became real.

Just the Dharmic powers in Qi Ming's dantian were not enough to condense the Three Pure Nascent Soul. In fact, after the Three Pure Nascent Soul absorbed all the Dharmic powers, it did not even reach 1%.

"Refine."

With a thought, Qi Ming opened his inventory without any hesitation and took out all kinds of natural treasures and spiritual pills.

"Three Pure Immortal Light."

Swish!

Qi Ming waved his right hand. A blurry fog that was like Chaos appeared in his palm. It spread out and enveloped all the natural treasures and spiritual herbs.

It included the ten-thousand-year-old Nascent Soul spirit, the lotus seed of the Heaven and Earth Dao Lotus, the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Dao Manifestation Pill, the Nascent Soul Pill…

Over the years, Qi Ming had refined all the good things he had obtained from killing many enemies through the game dungeon.

These treasures and spiritual herbs were all refined into the purest Essence Qi.

Then, the Three Pure Nascent Soul devoured everything to gradually condense.

Not only that, Qi Ming's breakthrough gradually triggered a huge phenomenon. In the sky above the Heaven Secrets Manor, at the beginning, only a medium-sized spiritual qi vortex appeared.

This was because Qi Ming was absorbing the vast spiritual qi in the surroundings.

Buzz! Buzz!!

In the beginning, this spiritual qi vortex was not big, only less than a hundred meters in diameter. It only caused the spiritual qi around the Heaven Secrets Manor to fluctuate.

"What?"

Shangguan Wenge raised his head and looked at the spiritual qi vortex above. He pondered and said, "The spiritual qi of heaven and earth gathered and formed a spiritual cloud vortex. Is Qi Ming breaking through?"

"He's been in seclusion for more than ten years."

"Has he finally broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?"

"The phenomenon of this spiritual qi vortex is not too exaggerated. It's only at the level of an ordinary genius. If that's the case, that old thing, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, has misjudged this new personal disciple."

A minute later, the spiritual qi vortex above the Heavenly Fortune Mansion began to expand. The diameter increased from 100 meters to 200 meters. Moreover, every minute passed, the diameter doubled.

"This…"

Shangguan Wenge was a little surprised, "The spiritual qi vortex is expanding."

Time passed.

Not long after, the spiritual qi vortex created by Qi Ming's breakthrough had already reached a radius of ten kilometers. This level was extremely exaggerated and even affected the entire Fangzhang Immortal Mountain.

This caused most of the heaven and earth spiritual qi of the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain to gather towards Qi Ming.

What was more terrifying was that the spiritual qi vortex was still expanding.

It was as if it would not stop.

"This… this…"

Shangguan Wenge's eyes immediately widened. He stood outside the courtyard and raised his head, staring at the spiritual qi vortex that covered the sky. He was already completely dumbfounded and completely stunned.

"Is… is he… really breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm?"

Shangguan Wenge's tone was trembling as he said, "If he only broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, how could it cause such a huge commotion? How is this possible!!"

"Too terrifying." Shangguan Wenge gasped.

"Spiritual qi vortex."

"Who's breaking through?"

"Why didn't he break through in the grotto-heaven blessed land and cause such a huge commotion? Is it that senior brother who's already at the peak of the Soul Formation realm breaking through to the Dao Integration realm?"

"Too terrifying."

"This phenomenon no longer only affects the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. Even the Penglai Immortal Mountain and the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain beside it are affected."

"Too shocking."

In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, the legacy disciples of the various branches of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were all alarmed. Apart from those who were in seclusion, they were basically shocked by this phenomenon and looked up at this scene.

Not only that, even the Grand Elders were alarmed.

They appeared one after another.

"Spirit clouds extended for five kilometers."

Daoist Purple Firmament glanced at it, "There are also heaven and earth Dao runes accompanying it, causing the heaven and earth to resonate. Which lineage's junior has broken through to the Dao Integration realm? However, why didn't he break through in the grotto-heaven and cause such a huge commotion?"

"That direction…"

"Wait…"

"No… No way… That position, that direction, the Heaven Secrets Manor? It is actually the Heaven Secrets Manor? There is still a junior at the peak of the Soul Formation realm in the Heaven Secrets lineage?"

"No! No!"

"Qi Ming! It's Qi Ming!"

"Qi Ming is breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm."

"This is impossible!"

"How can Qi Ming's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm cause such a phenomenon? Spirit essence surge extended continuously for five kilometers and there are heaven and earth Dao runes accompanying it, causing the heaven and earth to resonate. This is a phenomenon that only appears when one breaks through to the Dao Integration realm!"

"Oh my god…"

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Daoist Purple Firmament and the others looked at this scene. Looking at this situation, they were indeed stunned. They did not expect this situation at all.

The commotion caused by Qi Ming's breakthrough was too great.

Chapter 133: Three Pure Avatars

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Actually… we should have expected Qi Ming to be extraordinary. After all… he was able to kill more than ten legacy disciples of the various factions at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm with a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation. No one in the entire history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect has been able to achieve such results, such talent, and such strength. Even the founding ancestor, Daoist Heaven Enlightenment, could not do it!"

"That's right!"

"Therefore, for Qi Ming to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and cause such a commotion, this phenomenon is actually expected."

"Expected… Expected my ass!"

"Has anyone seen a situation where breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm can cause a spirit essence surge of five kilometers and cause heaven and earth to resonate? Forget about seeing it, I've never heard of it."

"This is the first time in history."

The Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect felt as if their world-view had been destroyed. They felt that their previous cultivation was fake and unreal. It was completely a fantasy.

The phenomenon caused by Qi Ming's breakthrough had not reached the strongest level. When the entire spirit essence surge expanded to a diameter of 15 kilometers, it finally stopped expanding.

This had already affected the entire Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

"Oh my god!"

"What kind of scene is this?"

"This is unbelievable."

"Too shocking."

Everyone looked up into the sky. They could not calm down for a long time. Looking at this phenomenon, they were all extremely shocked and could not regain their senses.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"As expected of the junior that old thing took a fancy to!"

Shangguan Wenge calmed down. He looked at the spiritual clouds phenomenon in the sky and took a deep breath, "He only broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and caused such a huge commotion. I really don't dare to imagine."

"Condense!" Qi Ming shouted again.

In his dantian.

At this moment, after the Three Pure Nascent Soul absorbed a lot of spiritual qi, Dharmic powers, natural treasures, and medicinal pills, it finally condensed completely after spending a ton of resources.

This way…

Qi Ming had truly stabilized at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Heaven and earth Dao runes circulated.

Qi Ming carefully comprehended it and was in the midst of transforming.

At this moment, when the Three Pure Nascent Soul completely condensed and Qi Ming's cultivation completely stabilized, the phenomenon created by his breakthrough finally reached the peak.

In the sky of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, 15 kilometers of spirit essence surge covered the sky.

It was as if an endless spiritual qi of heaven and earth raised a storm. It even caused the Astral Layer surrounding the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain to undergo a violent change.

It was as if a storm had appeared in the sea.

"What… what is that?"

"Everyone, look. Something happened again."

"In the spirit clouds…"

"Yes…"

Dao runes spread, heaven and earth resonated, and Dao sounds resounded.

In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, everyone looked over, feeling reverence.

In the 15 kilometers of spirit essence surge, there were heaven and earth Dao runes that evolved into the grotto-heaven world. The sun, moon, and stars shone in it. In the spirit clouds, five-colored light dyed the heavens as immortal music sounded.

Outside the spirit clouds, countless golden lamps, golden lotuses, jade pearls, and beads fell from the clouds. It was as if water was flowing endlessly in front of the eaves.

Endless heavenly flowers descended.

It was as if they were congratulating a supreme existence on its birth.

It was too shocking.

It was simply too shocking.

How could they not be awed, shocked, and trembling at such a scene…

"Qi… Qi Ming… Is… is he really breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm?"

"Is he about to become an immortal?"

"Gasp…"

The Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had been shocked too many times today. It was all because of Qi Ming. This phenomenon was too magnificent.

In the Sect Master Hall.

"The great calamity is about to begin. There will definitely be monstrous prodigies emerging."

The shock on Yang Li's face had already gradually disappeared. He stared at the various phenomena in the sky, "Heavenly flowers bloomed and the sound of the Dao resounded. This is the congratulations from heaven and earth…"

"Such a scene."

"Really…"

For a moment, Yang Li could not find any words to describe it.

"Master… Master, is… is this really the phenomenon caused by Senior Brother Qi breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm? Isn't this situation too exaggerated?" Su Qingyin stood beside Yang Li and could not help but exclaim.

"It's indeed him." Yang Li nodded.

"This…"

Su Qingyin's red lips widened slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with worship as she exclaimed, "Senior Brother Qi is really too strong. The phenomenon caused by my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm back then was far less than a tenth of Senior Brother Qi's."

"You're actually already not bad."

Yang Li could not help but sigh, "However… This Qi Ming is really too monstrous. He can actually reach this level. It's simply unbelievable."

The reason why Yang Li had personally appeared and accepted Su Qingyin as his personal disciple was because he had seen through her true strength.

Su Qingyin was the ninth reincarnation cycle of the Creation Wood Divine Tree Spirit.

Creation Wood!

The Heaven and Earth Divine Tree that supported the world.

During the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, the Creation Wood Divine Tree would definitely be of great use.

Su Qingyin's aptitude was extremely high. Her comprehension, foundation, and providence had all reached the fifth level. As long as she did not die midway, she would definitely become an existence at the Grand Elder's level in the future.

Perhaps, she could be even stronger.

Of course, this was all in the future.

The phenomenon caused by Qi Ming caused abnormalities in the three forbidden areas of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. The three ancestors who had sealed themselves in the three forbidden areas showed signs of awakening.

However, such signs quickly disappeared and fell silent again.

The aura emitted from the three forbidden areas attracted the attention of Yang Li and the others, who looked at the three forbidden areas.

"The three ancestors were also alarmed." Yang Li pondered.

"Qi Ming has caused too much commotion."

"I wonder what the three ancestors will do next."

"I hope nothing major happens."

"…"

The Grand Elders discussed.

Gradually…

The worldly phenomenon slowly converged and the spirit clouds began to dissipate. All kinds of scenes and the heaven and earth Dao runes also dissipated. Not long after, they all disappeared.

Everyone was still shocked for a long time.

At this moment, Qi Ming had also completely stabilized his early-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation. In his dantian, the twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus swayed and shone brightly. The Three Pure Nascent Soul sat cross-legged.

The Dharmic powers of the Nascent Soul surged.

It was like a lake.

The twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus Dao Foundation was rooted in the Dharmic powers lake.

Around the Three Pure Nascent Soul, the three intrinsic treasures, Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo, the World Piercing Sword, and the Sword Mountain, surrounded and revolved around it.

The Dharmic powers and Dao runes of the Three Pure Nascent Soul were tempering the three intrinsic treasures.

Apart from that…

There was also the Formless Golden Core and the Book of Changes Golden Core.

The two Golden Cores were in the most remote corner. They were completely suppressed by the Three Pure Nascent Soul. They did not move at all and were extremely silent.

Of course, this was because Qi Ming had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. While comprehending the profundities of the Nascent Soul realm, his grasp of the Three Pure Dao Scripture had become even deeper.

Qi Ming had grasped the Three Pure Dao Scripture's Nascent Soul realm divine power spell technique.

It was called the Three Pure Avatars.

The ability, Three Pure Avatars, was also very heaven-defying. It was comparable to the Purity Golden Body which could grant spell immunity to all techniques.

After the Three Pure Avatars was used, he could instantly create three avatars. These three avatars were called Jade Pure, Supreme Pure, and Grand Pure.

Most importantly…

As long as Qi Ming had enough Dharmic powers, these three avatars could even exist forever. Moreover, the three avatars could possess strength that was completely equivalent to Qi Ming.

This was an extremely powerful divine power spell technique.

"Okay."

Qi Ming was very satisfied. He carefully comprehended the profundity of the Three Pure Avatars. The more he comprehended, the more he felt how powerful and profound this divine power spell was.

Now, Qi Ming had already grasped the Foundation Establishment realm divine power spell technique, the Green Lotus Dao, the Core Formation realm divine power spell technique: Purity Golden Body, Myriad Forms Storm, the Eight Trigrams Formation, and the Nascent Soul realm divine power spell technique: Three Pure Avatars.

Outside the Heaven Secrets Manor.

After the phenomenon disappeared, Grand Elders came one after another.

Qi Ming did not come out of seclusion. He was still cultivating in seclusion.

At the door, Shangguan Wenge sat on the threshold with his back against the door frame. He raised his head slightly and looked at the Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect standing outside.

"I know what you're thinking." Shangguan Wenge said slowly, "To be honest, I'm quite curious and very shocked. However, that kid hasn't come out of seclusion. Wait outside."

"This…"

"It's fine."

"Qi Ming is the personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets. In terms of seniority, he's only half a generation lower than us. Since he hasn't come out of seclusion, we can wait."

Daoist Purple Firmament and the others were really waiting outside the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"Tsk tsk."

Shangguan Wenge smacked his lips and secretly praised, "This kid's reputation is really great. He can make you, these high and mighty Grand Elders, willing to wait outside the door."

"Interesting."

"Interesting."

"If this matter spreads, it will probably shock the entire Southern Region."

"Hahaha…" Shangguan Wenge laughed.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor, in the cultivation courtyard.

After Qi Ming broke through to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm and mastered the Three Pure Dao Scripture, he began to attempt to break the Formless Golden Core and the Book of Changes Golden Core into the Nascent Soul realm.

Crack!

The Formless Golden Core's foundation was insufficient and could not withstand the True Intent of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Dao Insight. The Golden Core shattered into a Nascent Soul and became Dharmic powers that fused into the Three Pure Dao Nascent Soul.

Of course, although the Formless Golden Core was gone, the divine power spell, Myriad Forms Storm, was still there. This was because the Formless Golden Core had fused with the Three Pure Dao Nascent Soul and got absorbed.

Three days later.

Boom!

The Book of Changes Divination Scripture Golden Core shattered and reached the Nascent Soul realm. Qi Ming had cultivated the Book of Changes Divination Scripture and condensed the Book of Changes Eight Trigrams Nascent Soul. It was also at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

This way, Qi Ming obtained another Nascent Soul realm divine power spell technique: Connate Yin-Yang Formation.

Chapter 134: New Game Dungeon, Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation level has already risen to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. The number of spirit stones needed for AFK Farming cultivation has increased by ten times. Every amplification will cost 100 low-grade spirit stones."

A notification appeared.

"The consumption has increased by ten times."

Qi Ming said, "However, this is nothing. With the number of spirit stones I obtain every day, I can completely support the current consumption of AFK Farming cultivation."

After Qi Ming successfully cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao True Intent and the Three Pure Dao Insight had already seeped into Qi Ming's body, undergoing the corresponding transformation and evolution of Qi Ming's physique, comprehension, and foundation.

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for establishing the Three Pure Dao Nascent. You have been transformed and evolved by the True Intent of Heaven and Earth and the Three Pure Dao Scripture. Your aptitude has increased."

"There are no changes to the five-elements spirit root."

"The Heavenly Sword Dao Body has transformed because it absorbed the true intent of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao and the mysteries of the Three Pure Dao Scripture, becoming the Sword Dao Immortal Body."

"Your comprehension level has increased from Genius to Peerless."

"Your foundation has increased from Crystal to Hidden Dragon."

"There are no changes to your providence."

A series of notifications appeared.

"Good, good, good."

The corners of Qi Ming's mouth curled up slightly. He was in a very good mood. "I didn't expect that after cultivating the Three Pure Dao Scripture, my aptitude would improve further."

"With my current potential, I can already be considered a genius among geniuses. In terms of potential, I'm probably not inferior to the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain."

"Not bad, not bad."

Most importantly…

Ding!

"Detected that the host's aptitude has been increased. The number of spirit stones needed for AFK Farming cultivation has decreased by ten times. Every amplification will cost 10 low-grade spirit stones."

"It went back down again." Qi Ming shrugged.

Ding!

"Because the host's cultivation level has risen to the Nascent Soul realm, the highest amplification state of AFK Farming cultivation has increased from 100,000 times to a million times."

"Not bad."

Qi Ming nodded. With a thought, he said, "I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones and practice the Three Pure Dao Scripture."

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Cultivating the Three Pure Dao Scripture under the enhancement of a million times…"

"I'll charge another 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones and practice the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power." Qi Ming continued.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Cultivating the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power under the enhancement of a million times…"

A notification appeared.

"Continue charging 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones and AFK Farm the Spirit Pet: Black Flame Flood Dragon." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Spirit Pet: Black Flame Flood Dragon is growing under the enhancement of a million times…"

A notification appeared.

"Done." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation level has already broken through to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. The reward for clearing the late-stage Core Formation game dungeon, Dragon Island, has been greatly reduced. You can use a million medium-grade spirit stones to open the new game dungeon."

A notification appeared.

"I'll charge a million medium-grade spirit stones to activate the new game dungeon." Qi Ming said.

With a thought, a million medium-grade spirit stones were charged.

Ding!

"You've charged a million medium-grade spirit stones."

"You can enter the early-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon: Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb."

Several notifications appeared.

"Enter." Qi Ming said.

The scene of the game appeared in front of Qi Ming.

The fog spread.

Thick layers of gray fog enveloped the surroundings. This was a lonely forbidden land devoid of life. Legend had it that a Great Emperor had died here, turning this into a forbidden zone.

On this day, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into arrived at the periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb. He entered. Mist enveloped his surroundings and blocked Qi Ming's vision.

Not long after, the fog was still spreading.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

A roar sounded.

In the fog, monsters appeared.

These monsters were actually dried corpses that contained the power of death in the forbidden land. There were cultivators, demon beasts, and various races.

They died here.

Then, the corpses turned into dried corpses in the forbidden land.

"Attack!"

Clang! Clang!

The game character that Qi Ming had transformed into took out his sword. He was a powerful peerless swordsman. His gaze was like lightning and his sword qi was like a waterfall. He was powerful and killed dried corpses one after another.

He headed deeper into the forbidden land…

Swish!

Qi Ming closed the game screen.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

Ding!

"The Three Pure Dao Scripture has been cultivated for 30 days under the enhancement of a million times. Your comprehension of the Three Pure Dao Scripture has increased, and your cultivation has improved."

…

Ding!

"The Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power has been cultivated for 30 days under the enhancement of a million times. Its realm has increased from Large Success to Perfection."

…

Ding!

"Spirit Pet: Black Flame Flood Dragon has cultivated for 30 days under the enhancement of a million times. Its cultivation level has broken through from the late-stage Nascent Soul realm to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

…

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming in the game dungeon: Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb for 30 days. You have cleared the game dungeon 30 times. You have obtained: one Divine Sword of Annihilation, one Immortal Slaying Saber, one Nine Ring Chain Hammer… One bottle of Spirit Establishing Divine Pill, one bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill, one bottle of Child-Mother Heart Connecting Pill, one bottle of Nine-Nine Creation Pill… Ten Thousand Miles Bone Corroding Sword Book, Nine Nether Demon Saber Technique, Heaven and Earth Mind Art, Nine Absolute Beast Manipulation Scripture… and 30 million high-grade spirit stones."

…

"Not bad."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment. "The difficulty of cultivating the Three Pure Dao Scripture is much higher than the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture. After all, the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture cultivates the Core Formation realm, while the Three Pure Dao Scripture cultivates the Nascent Soul realm."

"Raising my cultivation level is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Even under the enhancement of a million times, it will still take a lot of time."

"I should go out and take a look." Qi Ming said.

Outside the Heaven Secrets Manor, the Grand Elders had waited for an entire month.

During this period, many Grand Elders were impatient. Halfway through, they left first. In the end, only the three Grand Elders waited until Qi Ming came out of seclusion.

"That kid is out." Shangguan Wenge said.

Qi Ming pushed open the door of the cultivation courtyard and slowly walked out. He was in a good mood. He stretched and sized up his surroundings. Because his cultivation had broken through, he instantly felt that the heavens and the earth were a little different.

It was even more apt.

It was also clearer.

It was as if…

With a thought, Qi Ming could fuse into the world and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth. He grasped the power of heaven and earth and had a high and mighty feeling.

This feeling quickly disappeared.

Qi Ming was not immersed in it.

"What?"

Qi Ming was stunned. His gaze looked outside the Heaven Secrets Manor and saw the three Grand Elders. Daoist Purple Firmament was standing in the middle, and the two beside him Qi Ming did not know. Shangguan Wenge was half lying in front of the door sill as he looked at Qi Ming with a faint smile.

"Grand Elders…"

Qi Ming was shocked in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface. He quickly walked to the door and cupped his hands in greeting to the three Grand Elders, "Disciple Qi Ming greets the three Grand Elders. Disciple did not know that the three Grand Elders had arrived because I was in seclusion and could not welcome you. I hope that the three Grand Elders can forgive me."

"This old servant congratulates Young Master for coming out of seclusion."

Shangguan Wenge stood up and bowed to Qi Ming. His tone became respectful, "Congratulations to Young Master for breaking through and mastering your divine technique."

"You…" Qi Ming frowned.

Shangguan Wenge's reaction was a little unexpected.

Over the past ten years, Shangguan Wenge did not give Qi Ming a good look. He had a feeling that he wanted to vent his anger towards Patriarch Heaven Secrets on Qi Ming.

Shangguan Wenge's cultivation was sealed, so he could not attack Qi Ming. It was easy to deal with him with Qi Ming's strength.

He could only curse in his mouth. He could not do anything in reality, and Qi Ming did not want to pay attention to this old monster who had lived for so long.

Although it was not obvious, this old monster was a little abnormal now.

"Young Master."

Shangguan Wenge continued, "The three Grand Elders waited for you outside the residence for a month. This is a treatment that even Lord Sect Master might not receive."

"The three Grand Elders have waited for a long time. Please come in." Qi Ming reacted.

"Okay."

Daoist Purple Firmament and the other two Grand Elders nodded slightly. They sized up Qi Ming a few times and looked at each other before entering the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Qi Ming welcomed the three Grand Elders in the main courtyard.

Then, he finally understood why the three Grand Elders had specially come to find him.

This was a friendly gesture.

In addition…

Qi Ming also learned about the other two Grand Elders. They were: Patriarch Wei He and Daoist Lightning Flame.

"Qi Ming, have you broken through to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm?"

Patriarch Wei He was a square-faced middle-aged man. He looked at Qi Ming and asked bluntly.

"I just broke through." Qi Ming replied.

"It's actually true…"

After Daoist Purple Firmament and the others heard this, they looked at each other and could not help but gasp. The shock in their eyes was obvious.

They came to find Qi Ming to confirm the truth.

Now, they could really be sure now.

The phenomenon a month ago was indeed caused by Qi Ming breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

"This is really an unprecedented talent." Daoist Purple Firmament sighed.

"Qi Ming!"

Daoist Lightning Flame looked like a young man with long purple hair. His hair was like lightning threads and flickered with sparks, "You only broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and caused such a phenomenon. You're truly unprecedented."

"No wonder Patriarch Heaven Secrets specially woke up and took you in as his only personal disciple." Patriarch Wei He said.

"The three Grand Elders are too praising."

Qi Ming said, "I actually cultivated for a few years casually and unknowingly had an epiphany. I unknowingly cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm and unknowingly caused such a huge phenomenon."

Chapter 135: Battle Sacred Body

"Actually…" Qi Ming looked up at the sky as if he was inexplicably lonely, "I don't want to be such a genius, nor do I want to be so high-profile, nor do I want to be so peerless and unique…"

"But…"

"My strength forced me to!"

"Pfft…" Shangguan Wenge almost spat out the tea he had just drunk. He looked at Qi Ming as if it was the first time he truly knew him.

It was simply shocking!

Shangguan Wenge did not expect Qi Ming to say such shocking things. Listen to what he had just said. When he heard this, he wanted to hit someone.

"I actually feel quite regretful." Qi Ming continued, "I really want to be like everyone else and experience the feeling of working hard and cultivating continuously."

"I want the feeling of achievement… to finally reach success through my continuous hard work and countless hardships. The sense of accomplishment would definitely be very enjoyable."

"But reality is so cold and heartless."

"It has taken away my right to fight and work hard."

"I really want to be like everyone else…"

Qi Ming sighed repeatedly, "I want to work hard too. I want to endure hardships too…"

"You…" Daoist Purple Firmament stood on the spot for a moment. For a moment, he was speechless.

"You… also want to be like everyone else… You're really…"

Patriarch Wei He took a few deep breaths before calming his fluctuating mood. He was quite unhappy and felt that Qi Ming was too pretentious. However, Qi Ming had caused such a shocking phenomenon, so he could not even find an excuse to slander Qi Ming. This made him even more unhappy.

"Hahaha…" Daoist Lightning Flame laughed loudly.

The corners of Shangguan Wenge's mouth twitched.

Damn it.

He had postured again.

"Forget it."

Daoist Purple Firmament stood up. He did not want to continue chatting with Qi Ming because listening to these shocking words would only make him feel that his talent was so unbearable. He was clearly the Grand Elder here!

Damn it.

"Qi Ming, cultivate well. I'll take my leave." Daoist Purple Firmament said.

"Elder Purple Firmament, take care." Qi Ming sent him off respectfully.

Swish!

Daoist Purple Firmament's figure tore through the air and left.

"Cough cough…"

Patriarch Wei He coughed lightly, "Qi Ming, you're from the Green Cloud Peak, and I'm a Grand Elder of the Green Cloud lineage. We have a close relationship, you can move around often in the future."

"Yes." Qi Ming nodded.

Patriarch Wei He nodded and transformed into a stream of light to leave, leaving only Daoist Lightning Flame. He originally wanted to ask about the reason why Qi Ming had caused such a phenomenon, but Qi Ming's words earlier were clearly perfunctory. There was no point in continuing to ask.

Qi Ming was the personal disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's Patriarch Heaven Secrets. In the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, his seniority was extremely high. At most, he was half a generation lower than the Grand Elder.

Additionally, since Qi Ming was the personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets, he was naturally protected by the ancestor. Even if they were Grand Elders, they could not forcefully interrogate him.

"Goodbye."

Daoist Lightning Flame did not say anything and turned to leave.

"They left so quickly." Qi Ming said lightly.

"Young Master." Shangguan Wenge put down the teacup in his hand and spoke, "As an experienced person, I feel that there's still something I have to remind you, Young Master."

"What?" Qi Ming asked.

"As a person, don't be too pretentious."

Shangguan Wenge sighed as if he recalled his glorious days in the past, "Back then, I was also like you, Young Master. I was so arrogant. In this world, there was no one I looked up to. They were all trash, a bunch of losers. Until later…"

"Sigh…" He sighed.

There was endless sadness in his tone…

Shangguan Wenge shook his head, "It was because I accidentally overstepped my boundaries that I ended up like this today. Young Master, you have to be careful not to end up like me."

"Pretentious?" Qi Ming glanced at Shangguan Wenge and chuckled, "I don't know what you're talking about at all. Is there a problem with what I said just now?"

"I indeed broke through unknowingly while cultivating."

"Isn't this very normal?"

"Er…"

Shangguan Wenge's expression froze.

"Wipe the tea off the ground."

Qi Ming said, "You made this mess."

"I…"

Shangguan Wenge was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes, Young Master."

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming in the game dungeon 'Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb' for a day. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have received: one portion of the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin, and a million high-grade spirit stones."

In the evening, a notification appeared.

"This is…"

Qi Ming was shocked, and joy appeared in his eyes, "I've passed the 'Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb' for more than a month. Although I obtained many things, I've finally obtained a Sacred Body this time."

"Good, good, good."

Qi Ming immediately checked the information about the Battle Sacred Body.

Item: One portion of the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin.

Introduction: A long, long time ago, a cultivator with the Battle Sacred Body at the Large Success stage entered the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb to search for the method to become an Emperor. In the depths of the forbidden land, it fought with an unknown existence for nine days and nine nights, causing the 'Emperor's Forbidden Tomb' to shatter. This created the periphery. Unfortunately, because the Large Success Battle Sacred Body was in its twilight years, its blood and qi weakened, and it was unable to unleash the peak combat strength of the Sacred Body. In the end, it was defeated and died on the spot. Its corpse was buried in the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb. This is the bloodline origin of the Battle Sacred Body. It can be fused and absorbed to obtain the Battle Sacred Body.

"What an amazing Battle Sacred Body."

Qi Ming said in a low voice, "In the Mystic World, a Sacred Body is the highest level of physique talent. Even Su Qingyin only has the Creation Wood Immortal Body."

"I only have a Sword Dao Immortal Body now."

"The difference between an Immortal Body and a Sacred Body is huge."

"Moreover…"

"There's no Sacred Body in the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect."

"In the entire Mystic World, it seems that it's been a long time since a Sacred Body has appeared."

"Fuse."

With a thought, Qi Ming fused the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin into his body without much hesitation. As long as he succeeded, he would be the Battle Sacred Body.

The Battle Sacred Body was born for battle.

There were no flaws in it.

The inventory opened.

The Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin was a ball of pure golden blood. It kept squirming like a living thing, as if it could transform into various forms.

The Battle Sacred Body Bloodline Origin could not be taken out of his inventory. If it was taken out, heaven and earth would sense it and the blood would instantly dissipate.

It was as if this world could no longer tolerate it.

A true Sacred Body had not appeared in the Mystic World for a very long time. No matter how high the physique and talent were, there were only Immortal Bodies.

Under such circumstances, Qi Ming directly fused the Battle Sacred Body bloodline origin into his body from his inventory. Only then could he avoid the detection of the Mystic World.

The next moment, Qi Ming's entire body shook. The pure golden blood was like a Golden Crow Sun as it directly poured into Qi Ming's body. Terrifying energy, terrifying heat, and terrifying aura rampaged in Qi Ming's body.

In the blink of an eye, every hair on Qi Ming's body turned pure gold.

Blood Qi surged.

Steam rose.

Qi Ming felt as if his body and soul were about to be burned to ashes by this indescribable energy and heat.

It was truly terrifying.

As expected of the Battle Sacred Body.

Powerful.

He was extremely powerful!

Qi Ming's consciousness was in a daze as he entered layers of illusions. In the illusions, he was affected by the Battle Will. His consciousness became warlike and crazy.

This was not a good thing.

Roar! Roar!

In the layers of illusions, Qi Ming seemed to see the predecessors of the Battle Sacred Body appear. Qi Ming's consciousness was affected by these wills who wanted to assimilate Qi Ming.

In the current situation, if Qi Ming could not withstand the fusion of the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin, his consciousness would dissipate and his entire body would turn into a ball of dirty blood.

He would be completely dead.

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

"Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, and Three begets all things…"

"A truly good man is not aware of his goodness, and is therefore good. A foolish man tries to be good, and is therefore not good."

"The movement of heaven is full of power. Heaven above, Heaven below. Heaven represents what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm. The dragon lays hidden in the deep. It is not the time for active doing. The earth's condition is receptive devotion. Earth above, Earth below. Earth represents what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and having the firmness of a mare…"

At this moment, in Qi Ming's dantian, the three forms of the Three Pure Dao Nascent Soul all opened their eyes. Their Dharmic powers circulated, and Dao Insight surged. The True Intent of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao suffused as the three Nascent Souls described the Dao Scripture's profundities.

Not only that, the Book of Changes' Eight Trigrams Nascent Soul was also chanting the content of the Book of Changes.

Under such circumstances, a light flashed.

From the inside out, it began to shine on Qi Ming's entire body and infiltrate his body and soul. He circulated his Dao technique and gradually suppressed the violent Battle Sacred Body bloodline origin.

The riot in Qi Ming's body was gradually suppressed. His tumbling blood energy gradually calmed down, and the high temperature in his body slowly returned to normal.

The golden light gradually converged.

First, behind Qi Ming, a twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus appeared. At this moment, the Chaos Green Lotus was no longer the gradually formed Heavenly Dao Foundation of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.

Now, the twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus had already fused with the mystic techniques of the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture and the Three Pure Dao Scripture. It was extraordinary and was a unique Dao Foundation.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Immediately after, three shadows appeared.

It was the Dharma Idol of the Three Pure Dao Nascent.

In the corner, there was also the inconspicuous Dharma Idol of the Book of Changes' Eight Trigrams Nascent Soul.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The next moment.

The final struggle of the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin appeared. The Battle Will contained in it was revived. Unknowingly, it was as if the will projections of the predecessors with the Battle Sacred Body had appeared.

Every one of them was dazzling with golden light and surging with battle intent as they fought the heavens.

Chapter 136: Setting Up the Arena

Crack! Crack! Boom!

Under the suppression of the Three Pure Dao Nascent Soul, the wills of the predecessors were quickly destroyed and dissipated. They did not have the ability to resist and turned into pure Battle Will that fused into Qi Ming's body like golden light spots.

This way…

The last step was successfully crossed.

The Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin began to completely fuse with Qi Ming.

Crack! Crack!

Qi Ming felt his entire body transform.

This was a true rebirth.

He had established a true Sacred Body.

It was unparalleled and felt extremely terrifying.

At this moment, thousands of miles away, in the Central World.

This was the territory of the immortals.

Looking closer and closer, passing through many obstacles, it was the Sacred Land of the Immortal Race.

It was called the Myriad Immortal Mountain.

Crack!

Suddenly, on this Myriad Immortal Mountain, a golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the top of the mountain. Its power was not weak, causing a corner of the mountain to be missing and damaged.

At the corner, there were golden words.

'Sacred Body.'

"Oh? A Sacred Body appeared in the outside world?"

"Why?"

"At the end of the ancient era, the 'Immortal Ancestor' used supreme Dharmic powers and supreme divine powers to follow the great calamity of heaven and earth and severed the connection between heaven and earth. From then on, there would no longer be any Sacred Bodies. Even if there was, it would only be for a moment of glory. Since that time, it had never appeared again. What is this?"

"What happened?"

"Investigate!"

In the Myriad Immortal Mountain, several dignified voices sounded.

Every word contained the power of rules.

It was still very difficult for the immortals of the Central World to find Qi Ming.

This was because Qi Ming was in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and had fused with the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin. He was protected by the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Moreover, the Battle Sacred Body's bloodline origin had never leaked any aura.

This way…

Even if the immortals wanted to investigate, they would not be able to.

At the very least, for the time being, the immortals could not find out.

As for the future, it was unknown.

Half a day passed.

Qi Ming had finally adapted to the Battle Sacred Body. It was extremely domineering. After the fusion succeeded, the Sword Dao Immortal Body was devoured and refined by the Battle Sacred Body, turning into a portion of its power.

He had already fused with the Battle Sacred Body, but it was not easy to develop it. He needed time and many battles to nurture it.

With the help of the AFK Farming Software, it was only a matter of time before Qi Ming completely developed the Battle Sacred Body.

The degree of development of the Battle Sacred Body was related to his realm.

The exact level, according to the difference in cultivation realm, was divided into Beginner, Entry, Small Success, Blood Transfusion, Transformation, Apotheosis, Golden Body, Large Success, and Perfection.

Every major level was divided into three levels: initial, intermediate, and late-stage.

Three days later.

News of Qi Ming's breakthrough and creating a huge phenomenon had already spread throughout the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. The spirit clouds stretched for 15 kilometers and caused layer after layer of phenomenon. Flowers bloomed and Dao sounds followed.

Such a phenomenon was as if he had become an immortal.

Qi Ming had only broken through to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

When this news spread, the many disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain were all stunned. They were dumbfounded.

But soon, they did not believe it. They really could not believe that it was only a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. How could it cause such a huge phenomenon?

They thought that this news was fake and unreal. Qi Ming was simply a clown trying to show off.

Some suspected legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain came to visit Qi Ming again. They wanted to challenge him to verify the authenticity of this matter.

This time, Qi Ming did not close the door on them again.

Not only that, he even set up an arena outside the Heaven Secrets Manor.

At noon that day, Qi Ming stood in the air with his hands behind his back. He stood in the air and glanced at many legacy disciples present. Among these legacy disciples, the lowest cultivation level was at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and most were already at the Leaving Aperture realm.

He did not see any legacy disciples of the Soul Formation realm.

The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain did not all come from the twelve peaks through the legacy competition.

Many relied on their ancestors and interpersonal relationships. Of course, their talent was not weak.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and a black shadow the size of a millstone descended and quickly enlarged. When this black shadow landed, it turned into a huge arena with a diameter of a thousand meters.

The huge arena was circular, while the main body was pitch-black.

It was ten meters tall.

Light flowed.

There were also corresponding array patterns.

Item: Square Arena.

Introduction: A special Dharma treasure produced by the game dungeon 'Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb'. After it is completely activated, it can transform into a stage with a diameter of 1,000 meters and can be used for an arena battle.

"What is he doing?"

"Impressive."

"I feel that things are about to become very interesting."

"Tsk tsk…"

"Is this an arena?"

"I feel that this arena is not simple."

"…"

In the surroundings, the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were very surprised. They sized up the four-sided arena and looked at Qi Ming standing in the sky, their expressions becoming excited.

"Since everyone is so kind, it's hard to decline."

Qi Ming looked at everyone and had an arrogant aura as he shouted, "Then, from today onwards, I, Qi Ming, will set up an arena outside the Heaven Secrets Manor and welcome all fellow disciples to challenge me."

"I, Qi Ming, will take on anyone who comes!"

"Gasp…"

"Impressive, I'm too impressed."

"He… he really dares!"

"Is he crazy?"

"How dare he!"

"He actually set up an arena in front of the Heaven Secrets Manor and even said that all the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain can challenge him. Has he gone mad?"

"Ten years ago, Qi Ming had always stayed in seclusion. He rejected all visits and challenges with the excuse of cultivating in seclusion. Now, has his cultivation broken through? He actually set up an arena at the entrance to challenge everyone?"

"Qi Ming's actions now and back then are simply two extremes!"

"Hahaha…"

"In the history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, such a thing has never happened. How could he dare to challenge all his fellow disciples alone? No matter how strong Qi Ming is, if he can fight across realms and defeat a Leaving Aperture realm disciple, it's impossible for him to defeat a Soul Formation realm legacy disciple, right?"

"Exactly!"

"…"

Immediately, there were discussions everywhere.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Ming's gaze was calm as he said indifferently, "Is there no one left now? Are you afraid? Or do you only know how to talk and brag?"

"I'll do it!"

"How dare you!"

"Junior Brother Qi, let me face you. I want to see what you're capable of."

"…"

In the blink of an eye, five legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain jumped onto the stage.

There were two early-stage Leaving Aperture realm and three late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

"You guys?"

Qi Ming took a look and shook his head in disappointment.

"Qi Ming, quickly come down and fight."

On the stage, the five legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain shouted.

"You don't even have the right to make me attack." Qi Ming shook his head, "Too weak. I'm really not interested. Let's wait until you defeat my spirit pet."

Roar!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming waved his right hand, and Black Flame appeared. Under the enhancement of a million times, the speed of Black Flame's improvement was extremely fast. It broke through this morning.

Black Flame's cultivation level had just reached the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm.

Ding!

"Spirit Pet: Black Flame Flood Dragon has continued to grow under the enhancement of a million times. It has already cultivated the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture and Yinglong Nine Transformations to its current limit and has grown to its complete form. Its cultivation level has already broken through to the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm. Next, it only needs to successfully pass the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and it can evolve again through the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture to become a rare spirit pet."

After Black Flame cultivated the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture and the Yinglong Nine Transformations, it only needed to transcend the Dragon Transformation Tribulation to continue evolving. It did not need to rely on things like the Bloodline Crystal.

The Dragon Transformation Tribulation was not so easy to overcome.

"Flood dragon."

"A late-stage Leaving Aperture realm flood dragon."

"This…"

"Shouldn't Qi Ming's spirit pets be at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm? Why would a flood dragon whose cultivation level has reached the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm suddenly appear?"

The five legacy disciples on the stage were already stunned, and their expressions became shocked.

Roar! Roar!

Black Flame roared continuously as dragon might was released to suppress the five legacy disciples below. Thick black flames were already rising all over their bodies.

It was powerful.

It was extremely powerful.

"It's only a late-stage Leaving Aperture realm spirit pet. It's not like it's at the Soul Formation realm. We're legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. We can cross levels to fight. Can't we deal with a spirit pet together?"

"That's right."

"Attack!"

Boom! Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the five legacy disciples jointly attacked Black Flame and used powerful divine power spells. All kinds of lights lit up, producing a huge explosion.

They had completely underestimated Black Flame.

Black Flame was not an ordinary spirit pet. The cultivation methods it cultivated were the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture and Yinglong Nine Transformations. These were the cultivation methods of the ancient Demon Emperor Yinglong. They were extraordinary and had a deep foundation.

Roar!

Black Flame directly used a dragon breath to obliterate the divine power spells of the five legacy disciples. The power of the explosion sent all five of them flying.

"Ah!!!"

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Screams sounded as they spat out blood.

The five legacy disciples could not withstand a single move from Black Flame and were injured. Their injuries were not light and they were sent flying out of the arena in a sorry state.

"The difference is too great."

Qi Ming shook his head, "You want to challenge me with your strength? You can't even defeat my spirit pet. I wonder where you got your confidence."

"How laughable."

Qi Ming's tone was disdainful, "Are there also legacy disciples who are just here to make up the numbers?"

Before this, because of his insufficient cultivation, Qi Ming could only choose to silently endure the provocation and challenge of his fellow disciples. He stayed in seclusion and refused guests.

Now, Qi Ming's cultivation level broke through and his strength increased greatly.

However, there were still many disciples who suspected Qi Ming. They felt that it was impossible for him to be so powerful and cause such a phenomenon. They felt that Qi Ming was playing to the gallery and wanted to challenge him.

Qi Ming did not care what they thought, or if there was another reason.

He did not plan to tolerate it anymore.

In the past, it was because his strength was insufficient, so he temporarily endured it. Now that his strength was sufficient and his cultivation had broken through, with Qi Ming's personality, it was naturally impossible for him to endure it anymore.

Whoever came would be beaten.

He would cripple them all first.

He would repay kindness and hatred immediately.

Qi Ming shrugged. "It's really boring. I thought that only a few of you could fight. In the end, you can't even defeat my spirit pet."

He knew that these five legacy disciples who had jumped onto the arena to challenge him could only be considered to be at the bottom. Their cultivation levels and strength were relatively ordinary.

The true experts had not appeared.

He hoped that a true expert would appear and let him try his current methods.

Chapter 137: A Bunch of Trash

On the four-sided arena, the Black Flame Flood Dragon was huge and reached a hundred meters. Black flames kept rising all over its body, and an invisible dragon might spread in all directions.

The pitch-black scales were like they were made of iron. Their thick limbs and sharp dragon claws were filled with an oppressive feeling.

"I'll do it!"

"Attack!"

"Count me in."

"I don't believe it. It's only a spirit pet. What strength can it have? Even if it's at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm, it's impossible for me to really lose to a spirit pet."

"Attack!"

"…"

Many more legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain rushed onto the stage.

Although they were very unhappy that Qi Ming let his spirit pet fight them, in the current situation, if they could not defeat Qi Ming's spirit pet, they would not even have the chance to fight him.

They could only rush up the stage and plan to defeat Qi Ming's spirit pet first before dealing with him.

One after another, arena battles erupted.

In the next few arena matches, no legacy disciple below the Leaving Aperture realm went on stage. The ones who went on stage were all Leaving Aperture realm disciples.

The ideal was ample, but the reality was bone-chilling.

Roar!

"Yinglong Nine Transformations."

Boom! Boom!

Black Flame erupted with all its strength and revealed extremely formidable strength. It even displayed the might of the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture and Yinglong Nine Transformations.

One legacy disciple after another was directly blasted out of the arena. All of them were injured, and their faces were filled with shock and shock.

At this moment, they finally understood.

Qi Ming's spirit pet was really very powerful and quite extraordinary. It was definitely not an ordinary spirit pet as they knew. Its combat strength was simply off the charts. At the same realm, it was not even weaker than them.

Terrifying!

It was very terrifying!

They had never seen a Beast Tamer who could nurture their spirit pets to such an extent. This was almost impossible.

Qi Ming did it.

It was too shocking.

"How… How is this flood dragon so powerful?"

Gulp…

Everyone swallowed their saliva.

"Gasp…"

"Qi Ming's spirit pet is really extraordinary."

"This flood dragon is clearly only a spirit pet, but how can it be so powerful? Moreover, Qi Ming's spirit pet is already so powerful, so how strong is Qi Ming himself?"

"Just the thought of it is terrifying."

"…"

In the surroundings, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain could not help but gasp as they revealed shocked expressions. They were indeed shocked by this situation. They had never encountered such a situation.

The powerful strength displayed by Black Flame completely exceeded their expectations. In these arena battles, they actually all lost.

It was unbelievable.

"Your strength is not bad."

Qi Ming sat at the entrance of the Heaven Secrets Manor. His back was against the recliner. Shangguan Wenge stood respectfully at the side like an old servant.

"Black Flame's combat strength has actually exceeded my expectations."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and was in a good mood, "To be able to reach this level, it can only be said to be worthy of being the cultivation method of the ancient Demon Emperor Yinglong."

This was also because Black Flame's cultivation level had already reached the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm. The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain who fought consecutively had slightly lower cultivation levels than Black Flame, which was why the current situation was like this.

"Young Master."

Shangguan Wenge's gaze was a little surprised as he sized up the Black Flame Flood Dragon, "This dragon is quite extraordinary. It should be walking the path of the 'Dragon Transformation'."

Qi Ming nodded.

"As expected of the Young Master."

Shangguan Wenge said, "Even your spirit pet is able to reach this level. It is walking on the path of the Dragon Transformation. Moreover, it had already reached this level. This old servant is really impressed."

"Not bad." Qi Ming shrugged, "It became a dragon just by raising it normally. I'm quite helpless too."

"…"

The corners of Shangguan Wenge's mouth twitched.

Damn it.

He was posturing again…

"Qi Ming, don't be too arrogant."

"You're simply looking down on us."

"Damn it."

"He actually used a spirit pet to humiliate us."

"…"

Many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain shouted.

"Hehe."

Qi Ming laughed lightly and did not care. He leaned back on the recliner and crossed his legs as he said indifferently, "That's why I said that you're not strong enough. All you know how to do is talk nonsense like a commoner. You don't find it embarrassing, but I do."

"If you don't have this ability, shut up and scram back to where you came from."

"I'm ashamed to be in your company."

"When you go out in the future, don't say that we're from the same sect."

"You…"

"Damn it…"

"Qi… Qi Ming…"

"Ahhh!!!"

"I'm going to kill you… you bastard…"

Around the arena, these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain were angered to the point their faces turned red and their bodies trembled. They wanted to curse, but they could not find any reason to insult Qi Ming.

They had even lost the arena battle, and it was against Qi Ming's spirit pet.

It was too embarrassing.

They could only rage helplessly.

They were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.

"If I were you, I would find a hole to hide in now, or I would find a piece of tofu and bash my skull in."

Qi Ming was still humiliating them.

"!!!" The surrounding legacy disciples were already furious.

"Enough."

Boom!

At this moment, there was a loud sound.

A burly figure leaped out from below the stage, and it was like a huge rock that crashed onto the arena, causing the arena to tremble.

"Oh."

Qi Ming raised his eyebrows and felt the pressure from the other party. This legacy disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was clearly different from those who were just here to make up the numbers.

"Senior Brother Gongyang!"

"Senior Brother Gongyang is here."

"That's great."

"Once Senior Brother Gongyang appears, it will be easy to deal with this spirit pet."

"Beat Qi Ming up!"

"That's right, that's right…"

Immediately, everyone was excited again.

Gongyang was a surname.

"Junior Brother Qi Ming."

This Senior Brother Gongyang did not have any expression on his face. After standing on the four-sided arena, he looked at Qi Ming, "Don't you think this is already over?"

"Hehe." Qi Ming smiled again and crossed his legs. He said indifferently, "What over? Didn't you rack your brains to challenge me?"

"In the past, I was in seclusion and did not have the time to deal with you. Now, I specially set up the arena to satisfy your requirements. Now, you're saying that I've gone overboard?"

"Ridiculous."

"Who's the one overstepping the line?"

"It's you, right?"

"Even so, you shouldn't have let your spirit pet defend the arena, causing the legacy disciples of the various factions of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to be defeated and lose face."

Senior Brother Gongyang said in a low voice, "Your actions are slapping the faces of our Heaven Enlightenment Sect's various factions. Do you know that?"

"Hahaha…"

Qi Ming laughed loudly, "How can you blame me for this? You really want to laugh me to death. It's clearly because these trash are not strong enough that they lost to my spirit pet. They're asking to be humiliated."

"Damn it…"

"I'm so angry…"

"…"

In the surroundings, the legacy disciples who had lost to Black Flame turned red with shame. Although they were unwilling, Qi Ming was telling the truth. They could not refute him.

In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, there were a total of twelve lineages.

They corresponded to the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

In every lineage, there would be one or two Grand Elders as the pillars of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's various lineages.

This Senior Brother Gongyang was from the Body Tempering lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

He was from the Martial Illumination Peak.

He was the disciple of the Grand Elder, Daoist Martial Saint.

"Okay."

Senior Brother Gongyang nodded and sized up Qi Ming, "Junior Brother Qi Ming, what you said is very reasonable. Since you believe in strength so much, the strong are respected."

"Then…"

"Let me teach you a principle…"

"Oh?" Qi Ming smiled, "Then I'm all ears."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this moment, three more figures tore through the sky and stood in the arena. They were the same as Gongyang Zhige, and they were all disciples of the Body Refinement lineage's Grand Elder, Daoist Martial Saint.

"Senior Brother Gongyang, there's no need for you to deal with this spirit pet."

"Leave it to the junior brothers."

"That's right."

The three of them said.

"Okay." Gongyang Zhige nodded, "Thank you, Junior Brothers."

"It's nothing."

"Senior Brother, you're too polite."

"It's up to us."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the three shook, and their late-stage Leaving Aperture realm cultivation levels and strength erupted. They were all from the Body Tempering lineage, so they naturally cultivated powerful body tempering techniques.

"Diamond Tyrant Body."

"Black Water True Body."

"Eight Desolate Six Direction Golden Body Technique."

Boom!

An explosion sounded.

The three of them joined forces and used a powerful body refinement technique. All kinds of lights flashed and their strength was powerful. The four platforms were shaken by their steps as they attacked Black Flame.

Roar!

"Yinglong Nine Transformations."

Black Flame roared. First, it roared out a dragon breath and used the divine power spell technique of the Yinglong Nine Transformations. All kinds of dragon-shaped lights flickered and filled their vision.

The two sides collided.

An intense battle erupted.

Rumble!!!

Bang bang bang!!!

On the square stage, Black Flame was actually able to fight three people at the same realm and resist three legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage at the same time. This combat strength made everyone present dumbfounded.

"This… this is too strong…"

"This is only a spirit pet!"

"Gasp…"

"This is too terrifying. How did Qi Ming nurture such a powerful spirit pet?"

"This is unbelievable."

Everyone was shocked.

"Attack!"

"Roar!"

Boom!

The battle was about to end.

The three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage used all their methods and erupted with extremely powerful combat strength. After attacking Black Flame and paying the price of being heavily injured, they threw it out of the four-sided arena.

Black Flame also let out a miserable roar. The injuries on its body were not light, and many scales fell. Dragon blood splattered on the square stage and was sent flying. It fell to the ground and could not get up for a long time.

Black Flame ultimately lost.

"Cough cough…"

"Qi Ming, we won."

"Your spirit pet has already lost."

The injuries of the three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage were not light either. Blood flowed from the corner of their mouths and they even coughed out blood. They took a deep breath and stared at Qi Ming.

"They won! They won!"

"Hahaha…"

"Qi Ming's spirit pet lost. Qi Ming's spirit pet finally lost…"

"That's great."

"…"

Immediately, everyone around the stage cheered.

They were very excited.

"Are you proud? Are you happy?"

Qi Ming looked at Black Flame whose injuries were not light. There was no expression on his face, but he stood up from the rocking chair. His gaze swept across everyone present, bringing with it an invisible pressure that made everyone fall silent, "In a situation of being in the same realm, three people joined forces to defeat my spirit pet."

"What are you proud of?"

"You bunch of trash!"

Chapter 138: Fighting a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The scene was silent.

There was pin drop silence.

Everyone present felt a huge pressure from Qi Ming. Although this pressure was invisible, it was real. This was an invisible force that pressed down on everyone, causing them to involuntarily hold their breaths.

"Black Flame, come back." Qi Ming said.

"Yes, Master."

Roar!

Black light flashed.

Black Flame roared. Its body shrunk and returned to Qi Ming's side. With a white flash, Black Flame disappeared into thin air. Qi Ming put Black Flame into the spirit pet slot and activated it.

To everyone, Qi Ming put the spirit pet into the spirit pet space.

"Qi Ming, come and fight!"

"Come and fight!"

"Your spirit pet has already lost. What other excuse can you have? Come on!"

The three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage were completely angered by Qi Ming's words. They were originally quite happy after winning against Black Flame, but Qi Ming's words almost broke their defense. They immediately roared at Qi Ming.

"Okay." Qi Ming smiled. "I'll grant your wish."

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming jumped up and entered the battle like an immortal. He floated to the four-sided arena and looked at the three legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage whose injuries were not light.

"Should I give you some time to recover?" Qi Ming reminded kindly.

"No need."

"No need."

"Qi Ming, let me see what you can do."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage did not stand on ceremony at all. They erupted with their strongest methods and attacked Qi Ming from three directions.

Boom! Boom!

The powerful force even caused the air to explode.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Qi Ming did not dodge the attacks of the three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage, nor did he retreat, nor did he use any spell divine powers.

Qi Ming raised his hand and threw a punch.

It contained extremely terrifying power.

This was the eruption of the Battle Sacred Body's strength.

"Ah!!!"

There was a loud sound.

Accompanied by three miserable cries, Qi Ming defeated the three legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage with a punch. The three of them were sent flying at an even faster speed.

Screams sounded.

Crack! Crack!

In fact…

Their arms were broken.

Pew!!!

They spat out blood.

All of them flew out of the arena and rolled on the ground in pain.

One punch.

It was just a punch.

The three legacy disciples of the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm body tempering lineage were defeated. Although they were injured in the battle with Black Flame, they were still at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm.

Most importantly…

Qi Ming did not use any other divine powers. Instead, like the legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage, he defeated them head-on in terms of the strength of their bodies.

He had defeated them in their field of expertise.

"This… this…"

"One punch!"

"Qi Ming defeated three legacy disciples of the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm body tempering lineage with a single punch."

"So powerful!"

"As expected."

"Qi Ming could nurture a spirit pet to such a terrifying extent. His strength must have reached an extremely powerful level. As expected, I'm not wrong."

"…"

Everyone could not help but praise.

After the matter developed to this extent, the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain had already begun to think that the shocking phenomenon that had been created back then was very likely because of Qi Ming.

Although everyone was angry, they had to agree that Qi Ming was indeed very strong.

This was indeed the truth.

Qi Ming had set up the arena now, so it was impossible for them to not accept the challenge.

Gongyang Zhige walked steadily towards Qi Ming from a corner of the four-sided arena, "I didn't expect you to have such deep attainments in the Dao of Body Tempering."

"Not bad."

Qi Ming shrugged. "I don't know what happened either. My body has already become invincible for no reason. Body Tempering is actually quite simple."

"You…" Gongyang Zhige frowned.

"Huff…"

Gongyang Zhige took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The Dao of Body Tempering is broad and profound. When cultivated to a profound realm, you can become an immortal or a saint."

"You don't have reverence for the Dao of Body Tempering. You're bound to not be able to go far."

"Perhaps." Qi Ming said.

"Forget it." Gongyang Zhige said, "Today, I'll let you know the power of the Body Tempering lineage. I'll let you experience and understand the profundity of the Body Tempering Dao and let you understand what reverence is."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongyang Zhige took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The four-sided arena shook violently from his step, and his sandbag-sized fist suddenly enlarged in front of Qi Ming.

Boom!

In an instant, Qi Ming raised his hand and grabbed Gongyang Zhige's fist with his right hand. His fist and palm collided, producing an explosion, but Qi Ming did not move at all.

"Is this your power?"

Qi Ming looked into Gongyang Zhige's eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. A cold smile appeared, "That's too disappointing!"

Boom!

Qi Ming clenched his left hand into a fist. The power of the Battle Sacred Body had actually been unleashed. On the surface of Qi Ming's body, there was a faint golden light. This punch struck straight at Gongyang Zhige's abdomen.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Gongyang Zhige raised his left foot and used the knee of his left foot to block Qi Ming's punch.

"Hahaha…"

Gongyang Zhige's eyes shone and his fighting spirit rose. From head to toe, a bronze luster circulated, "Qi Ming, you really exceeded my expectations."

"Ancient Martial God Fist Force!"

Bang bang bang!!!

Gongyang Zhige roared. The muscles on his entire body swelled up. In an extremely short period of time, he threw out more than a hundred punches. Every punch contained a powerful force.

"Battle Martial Technique."

Boom!

Qi Ming faced Gongyang Zhige head-on. The two sides faced each other head-on. Fist to flesh, it was not a battle of spells and divine arts, but a battle of incomparably powerful bodies.

Every punch and every move landed on solid ground.

In the blink of an eye, the entire four-sided arena was filled with the figures of Qi Ming and Gongyang Zhige. Every time they fought, powerful strength and force spread, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

"So… so powerful…"

"Is this the terrifying aspect of body refinement cultivators? Their bodies are peerless and comparable to treasures. They temper their entire bodies to the point of being like treasures, and it's sufficient to tear apart a mountain and crush treasures with their bare hands."

"Too shocking, too shocking."

"Qi Ming's attainment in the path of body tempering has actually reached this level. He's clearly only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. He's clearly only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm!"

"Most importantly, Senior Brother Gongyang's cultivation level is already at the early-stage Soul Formation realm. He's two realms higher than Qi Ming!"

"This is too terrifying."

"Qi Ming's strength is too strong. He's simply a miracle…"

"Therefore, that shocking phenomenon back then was actually caused by Qi Ming breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm."

"This is true."

"Qi Ming was not playing to the gallery."

"It's all true!"

Everyone was shocked.

At this moment, Qi Ming's powerful strength convinced everyone.

At the top of the four-sided arena, clouds and fog surrounded him.

Several Grand Elders had already appeared. They were attracted by the situation here, especially after knowing that Qi Ming had descended the stage and wanted to challenge all the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

The Grand Elders also wanted to know how powerful Qi Ming was. After all, the phenomenon created by Qi Ming's breakthrough was too shocking.

It was unprecedented.

"Daoist Martial Saint."

Patriarch Wei He looked at the battle on the square stage and was surprised by Qi Ming's powerful body. He looked at Daoist Martial Saint beside him, "Who do you think will win between Gongyang Zhige and Qi Ming?"

"Qi Ming." Daoist Martial Saint replied. He was a thin old man, was only 1.5 meters tall and was like a dwarf. His body was even skin and bones, like an old man who was about to die.

This was a sign that the Daoist Martial Saint had cultivated his body refinement to the peak. He had restrained all his vital qi and blood to the limit, so in the eyes of outsiders, he was thin like a match.

However…

If Daoist Martial Saint erupted, he would instantly reach the peak and possess extremely terrifying combat strength.

"Oh." Daoist Purple Firmament raised his brows, "Martial Saint, you actually don't believe in the legacy disciple of your Body Tempering lineage. This is not your style."

"Are you blind or do you think I am blind?"

Daoist Martial Saint glared at them and berated, "From the beginning to the end, Qi Ming did not use any divine powers or spells in the battle. He only used his pure physical strength to fight Gongyang Zhige. I don't see any high attainment in body refinement on Qi Ming. He's only a layman in the path of body refinement."

"However…"

"He actually forcefully fought Gongyang Zhige to this extent."

"Under such circumstances, who do you think will win this battle?!"

"Huff…"

Patriarch Wei He took a deep breath. His gaze was deep as he looked at Qi Ming on the four-sided arena, "This is truly an extremely terrifying talent!"

"As expected of a monster who can cause such a phenomenon." Daoist Purple Firmament said.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Qi Ming became more and more courageous as he fought. His development of the Battle Sacred Body became more and more advanced. He gradually grasped the power of the Battle Sacred Body, and his Battle Will seemed to be boiling.

Instead, it was Gongyang Zhige.

His aura was exhausted again and again.

It gradually declined.

Boom!

"Battle Divine Fist!" Qi Ming shouted loudly. He took a step forward and grabbed the opportunity. He crashed into Gongyang Zhige's arms like a mountain and cried out in surprise as he protected his chest with his hands.

Boom!

Gongyang Zhige was sent flying.

Then, Qi Ming threw out his fists. The force surged as the golden battle light gathered and fused into this punch, directly striking Gongyang Zhige's body.

"Ah!!"

Gongyang Zhige let out a miserable cry as he spat out blood. One of his ribs was broken, and his entire body flew out of the four-sided arena and fell to the ground.

He half lay on the ground and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Huff…"

Qi Ming landed and slowly stopped.. His gaze was calm as he looked straight at Gongyang Zhige, "You lost."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 139: Enough

Qi Ming actually had many methods and divine powers, but this time, he mainly wanted to test how strong the Battle Sacred Body was.

He had only recently fused with the Battle Sacred Body and had yet to truly develop its power. However, the Battle Sacred Body had already made Qi Ming's body invincible. He possessed the combat strength to cross a major realm and defeated the early-stage Soul Formation realm Gongyang Zhige while being at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

This meant one thing: the Battle Sacred Body was extremely powerful.

As expected of a Sacred Body.

This was also influenced by the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture and the Three Pure Dao Scripture that Qi Ming cultivated. During the battle, Qi Ming also used the mystic technique divine powers like Subduing Dragons and Tigers to increase his strength.

Silence.

Everyone fell silent again.

They were dumbfounded.

Everyone was already shocked speechless by this result. They knew that Qi Ming's strength would be very strong, but they did not expect that Senior Brother Gongyang, who was at the early-stage Soul Formation realm, would actually lose…

What seemed like a fantasy actually happened.

Gongyang Zhige had indeed lost.

Moreover, he had lost in the Dao of Body Tempering.

"You…"

Gongyang Zhige held his chest. His injuries were not very serious, but he had broken a rib. Waves of pain came from his chest, constantly reminding Gongyang Zhige.

He lost completely.

At the same time, Gongyang Zhige was convinced of his loss.

A loss was a loss.

He, Gongyang Zhi Ge, was not a sore loser.

"Junior Brother Qi, I lost." Gongyang Zhige said in a low voice, "You won. I didn't expect Junior Brother's physical body to actually reach this level. I was too complacent. I didn't know that there was always someone better. Instead, I wanted to teach Junior Brother Qi a lesson. It's indeed very laughable."

"However…"

Gongyang Zhige raised his head and looked straight at Qi Ming. He shouted in a deep voice, "I lost this time because my skills were inferior to others, but next time, I will not easily lose to you."

"I'll be waiting." Qi Ming said, "However, Senior Brother Gongyang, you're already at the early-stage Soul Formation realm now, while I'm only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. You've already lost, so it's even more impossible for you to defeat me in the future."

"…"

Gongyang Zhige fell silent for a moment.

He had ignored this issue just now.

Qi Ming's cultivation level was only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm!

He was already at the early-stage Soul Formation realm.

There was a full Leaving Aperture realm difference between the two.

Under such circumstances, even Gongyang Zhige could not defeat Qi Ming, much less raise his cultivation level. The chances of Gongyang Zhige defeating Qi Ming were even slimmer.

"Sigh…"

Gongyang Zhige sighed and felt dejected at this moment.

"Who else?!"

Qi Ming retracted his gaze and clasped his hands behind his back. He stood on the stage and looked at the legacy disciples of the various factions of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

For a moment, the legacy disciples of the various factions of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain below the stage did not dare to look at Qi Ming. All of them lowered their heads, and they did not dare to jump onto the stage to challenge him.

Even the early-stage Soul Formation realm Gongyang Zhige had lost, much less them.

Under such circumstances, unless the late-stage Soul Formation realm senior brothers of the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain appeared, it was possible to suppress Qi Ming. However, those senior brothers were in seclusion all year round or tempering themselves everywhere in search of opportunities to break through to the Dao Integration realm. How could they care about this?

"You can leave."

At this moment, Daoist Martial Saint appeared. He directly descended from above and stood on the stage. His gaze swept across all the legacy disciples present and looked at Qi Ming, "Qi Ming, you've already vented your anger. They've all been taught a lesson. This matter ends here. There's no need to continue."

"You are?" Qi Ming asked.

"…" Daoist Martial Saint's expression darkened.

There was no helping it.

The aura of Daoist Martial Saint retracted. Coupled with his appearance, it was really not flattering. Qi Ming had always been in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and did not know the Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

Qi Ming did not recognize Daoist Martial Saint.

"Cough cough."

Swish!

Daoist Purple Firmament and Patriarch Wei He appeared at the same time. They glanced at the ugly-faced Daoist Martial Saint and then looked at Qi Ming, "This is the Grand Elder of the Body Tempering lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, Daoist Martial Saint. Hurry up and come greet him."

"Er…"

Qi Ming was stunned, "Disciple Qi Ming greets the Grand Elder, Daoist Martial Saint."

Daoist Martial Saint nodded expressionlessly.

"Greetings, Grand Elders."

In the surroundings, the legacy disciples below the four platforms shouted in unison.

Daoist Purple Firmament said, "Daoist Martial Saint is right. This matter will end here. Qi Ming, you set up the arena in front of the Heaven Secrets Manor. Now that many legacy disciples have been taught a lesson, I believe this will never happen again."

"How is it?" Daoist Purple Firmament asked.

"Qi Ming, let's forget about this matter for the sake of the three of us. If this continues, everyone will look bad."

Patriarch Wei He also said, "What do you think?"

Gulp!

"This… this…"

"There's too much information."

"This Qi… Qi Ming is too… too fierce…"

"The three Grand Elders actually asked Qi Ming to give them face…"

"Oh my god."

"I'm going crazy."

"They're the Grand Elders of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect!"

"Gasp…"

Shock.

It was extremely shocking.

This was simply even more shocking than Qi Ming defeating Gongyang Zhige. After all, that was only a legacy disciple at the early-stage Soul Formation realm.

Now, these were three Grand Elders.

"The three Grand Elders are right."

Qi Ming smiled. "I just came out of seclusion and cultivated some divine power spells. I wanted to find a few fellow disciples to spar and did not want to make a big deal out of it. As for setting up an arena at the entrance of the Heaven Secrets Manor, it was only a spur of the moment. I did not have any ill intentions."

"Since the three Grand Elders said so, I naturally have no objections. This matter will naturally end here."

"I feel guilty that the three Grand Elders specially came."

"That's good."

Daoist Martial Saint nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with Qi Ming's words. His gaze landed on Qi Ming and sized him up a few times, "Qi Ming, in the battle just now, I discovered that your physique is quite special and is very suitable for the Body Tempering lineage. Do you want to come to my Body Tempering lineage?"

"!!!"

Daoist Purple Firmament and Patriarch Wei He were shocked.

Qi Ming was the personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets personally. He was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Heaven Secrets lineage. Daoist Martial Saint actually wanted to poach him from the Heavenly Secrets Ancestor?

This was too bold.

Or…

Qi Ming's physique was really so special? He actually made Daoist Martial Saint say such words, despite offending Patriarch Heaven Secrets.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Martial Saint."

Qi Ming rejected, "The Dao of Body Tempering is broad and profound. It's indeed a very powerful cultivation path, but I'm not very interested in the Dao of Body Tempering."

"That's a pity."

Daoist Martial Saint shook his head with a rather regretful expression. He looked at Qi Ming a few more times. That gaze was like a sculpting master seeing a perfect jade but not having the chance to carve it. It was filled with regret and desire.

Qi Ming chose to ignore it.

"Master… Master."

Gongyang Zhige and the other legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage came to pay their respects to Daoist Martial Saint.

"How embarrassing." Daoist Martial Saint glanced coldly, "A bunch of trash. If not for Qi Ming showing mercy, how many of you would be able to stand up?"

"Instead of practicing your cultivation technique properly, you like to cause trouble."

"Get lost."

"You will be punished to enter the Reflection Valley to enter seclusion for ten years. No one can come out until the time is up."

"Reflection Valley…"

"This… this…"

The expressions of the legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage turned slightly pale.

"Yes."

Gongyang Zhige took a deep breath and nodded with a firm gaze. Although the Reflection Valley was very terrifying, it was a good place to cultivate in seclusion. If he could withstand it, his cultivation and strength would definitely increase.

"You can leave." Daoist Purple Firmament said.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"…"

The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain left one after another.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Then, the three Grand Elders also left.

"It ended so quickly."

Qi Ming shook his head. He was a little unhappy. He had only adapted to the Battle Sacred Body just now. Apart from that, he had not used the Three Pure Avatars, the Three Pure Dao Nascent, and other new divine power spells.

The three Grand Elders rushed over to let Qi Ming end this 'farce'. He had to give the Grand Elders face, so Qi Ming could only end it early.

"Forget it."

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the square stage quickly shrunk to the size of a palm. It was then put into his inventory by Qi Ming, and the surroundings of the Heaven Secrets Manor became quiet again.

"Young Master, what are you going to do next?" Shangguan Wenge asked.

"Go back." Qi Ming turned around and returned to the Heaven Secrets Manor, "I want to cultivate in seclusion."

"…"

Shangguan Wenge looked at Qi Ming's back and did not speak for a long time. It was unknown what he was thinking. Who could easily guess what he was thinking or plotting?

Three days later, Qi Ming went to the Legacy Hall of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. He did not go there to find any inheritance cultivation methods. The cultivation methods and divine powers on Qi Ming's body were already enough for him to cultivate.

He mainly wanted to find some history books in the Legacy Hall and figure out the ancient calamity and the history of the entire Mystic World.

The Legacy Hall was located at the top of the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. It was very close to one of the three major forbidden areas of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, but it was also a huge distance away.

The three forbidden areas were surrounded by array formations, preventing anyone from entering.

Swish!

Soon, he soon arrived at the legacy hall.

Qi Ming landed from the sky and stood in front of the inheritance hall. He looked up at the three-story-tall majestic palace in front of him. Clouds and fog surrounded the palace, like an immortal palace.

Chapter 140: Origin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Ming walked towards the inheritance hall. The door had always been open, and several legacy disciples walked out. When they saw Qi Ming, their expressions were slightly surprised as they cupped their hands and bowed to him.

"Greetings, Legacy Disciple Qi."

The tone of these legacy disciples was very respectful.

Qi Ming did not feel anything and nodded as a response.

In the next two days, news that Qi Ming had set up an arena in front of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and challenged all the legacy disciples had long spread.

Moreover, Qi Ming's spirit pets' combat strength was heaven-defying. Many legacy disciples combined were not Qi Ming's spirit pets' match.

Hearing such news, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain who did not participate in this were shocked.

They felt that it was impossible.

How could a spirit pet be so powerful?

However, this was the truth.

They had to believe it even if they did not want to.

Apart from that, there was also Gongyang Zhige of the Body Tempering lineage who had lost to Qi Ming. Moreover, he had lost in the Dao of Body Tempering. The news spread throughout the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, and all the legacy disciples of the various lineages knew.

Most importantly, Gongyang Zhige was at the early-stage Soul Formation realm, but Qi Ming's cultivation level was only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. The difference in cultivation between the two was immense.

Nascent Soul, Leaving Aperture, and Soul Formation.

There was a difference of the Leaving Aperture realm in the middle.

Qi Ming had won, but Gongyang Zhige had lost.

He lost completely.

Such an outcome made everyone who knew the news dumbfounded.

It was extremely shocking.

They could not recover from their shock for a long time.

Unknowingly, Qi Ming's various images had already gradually seeped into the hearts of people. Qi Ming's image was that of a powerful existence with heaven-defying potential and invincible combat strength.

Very strong.

Very strong!

Unbelievably strong!

In front of Qi Ming, if you did not have the cultivation level of the Soul Formation realm, you would have to lower your head and be submissive. Even if you had the cultivation level of the Soul Formation realm, you might not be Qi Ming's match.

Gongyang Zhige was the best example.

These things were actually a good thing for Qi Ming because this way, not only would he become famous, but he could also avoid many troubles.

At the very least, no one would dare to casually find trouble with Qi Ming again.

Moreover, everyone was very respectful to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming walked into the legacy hall. The situation inside was beyond Qi Ming's expectations. The inheritance hall had its own space. It was clearly only a three-story palace, but the space inside was like a small world.

He looked around and saw a cylinder.

The surrounding bookshelves were like a spiral staircase that kept spreading upwards. When he raised his head, he could barely see the end of the surrounding bookshelves.

All he could say was there were too many books, cultivation techniques, inheritances, and spells in the Legacy Hall. There were countless of them, and they were like an ocean or a vast starry sky.

This was the inheritance collection of all the inheritances and cultivation methods since the Heaven Enlightenment Sect was established. They were all taken into the inheritance hall, and the history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect was very long. It could be traced back to the end of the ancient era.

It had been a long time.

At this moment, the Immortal Ascension Token at Qi Ming's waist lit up, shining with a pure white light that fused into the space in front of him, turning into a white door that was three meters tall and one meter wide.

"Please come in."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in his mind.

"You are?" Qi Ming asked.

"Respected Legacy Disciple Qi." The voice in his mind sounded again and explained, "I'm the Legacy Hall Spirit No. 03 who is serving you. In the next period of time, I will provide the corresponding service."

"It includes but is not limited to helping you search for the corresponding books, inheritances, spells, and so on."

"The white door in front of you is an independent space specially opened for you. You can stay in this independent space and not be disturbed by the outside world. You can focus on reading any books and inheritance in the inheritance hall."

"The service is quite thoughtful."

Qi Ming smiled and pushed open the white door in front of him. He walked in. It was indeed an independent space with a design that was like a study.

The white door closed.

Qi Ming walked to the chair and sat down.

Above the desk, a white ball of light sounded.

The white ball of light was the Legacy Hall Spirit No. 03.

"Greetings, Dear Legacy Disciple Qi."

The legacy hall spirit No. 03 asked, "What kind of book do you want to find? Legacy? Cultivation methods? Divine powers? Or spells? The books in the legacy hall are all-encompassing. If you search for them yourself, it will take a long time to find a suitable cultivation method or inheritance, but I can help you resolve it in a short period of time."

"I want to find all the books related to the history and eras of the Mystic World."

Qi Ming said bluntly, "The more detailed the better."

"Okay." The legacy hall spirit 03 replied.

Buzz! Buzz!!

The next moment, the white ball of light projected in front of Qi Ming. In the projection, there were jade slips one after another. They were all books related to the history and era of the Mystic World.

"Greetings, Honorable Legacy Disciple Qi."

The Legacy Hall Spirit No. 03 continued, "I've found a total of 1,387 books related to the history of the Mystic World for you. Which one do you want to see?"

"All." Qi Ming said.

"Yes."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The next moment, the 1387 jade slips were copied and teleported to the independent space where Qi Ming was. They were placed on the desk, but could not fit, so the rest of the items were placed around him.

"Please take a look." The legacy hall spirit said.

Qi Ming nodded.

"If you need anything else, you can find me." The legacy hall spirit No. 03 continued, "I won't disturb you from reading."

"Okay." Qi Ming replied.

"Huff…"

Qi Ming looked at the jade slips placed around him and took a deep breath. He sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect there to be so many."

Then, he casually picked up the closest jade slip and injected Dharmic powers into it. The contents of the jade slip gradually surged into Qi Ming's mind, "1,387 jade slips. I can take a good look at them."

While Qi Ming was reading these jade slip books, he was also cultivating. He cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture, the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, the Book of Changes Divination Scripture, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power, and the development of the Battle Sacred Body.

For this, Qi Ming specially activated the fourth and fifth AFK Farming slots.

Activating the fourth AFK Farming slot only cost 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, but activating the fifth AFK Farming slot cost 1,000,000 high-grade spirit stones (10,000 top-grade spirit stones).

The five AFK Farming slots all cultivated in the enhancement state of a million times.

This way, he needed to spend a total of 500,000 medium-grade spirit stones every day. To Qi Ming, the number of spirit stones consumed was actually not much because he could obtain a million high-grade spirit stones every day after clearing the 'Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb'.

It was enough.

In fact, he had excess spirit stones daily.

Actually, Qi Ming had already accumulated a large number of spirit stones over the years. They were all stored in his inventory. However, he had never found a chance to use them.

Sometimes, spirit stones were like money. Too many would also be a problem.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Qi Ming stayed in the inheritance hall's independent space for a full month and finished reading all 1387 jade slips.

In addition, after AFK Farming for a month, the Three Pure Dao Scripture, the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, the Book of Changes Divination Scripture, and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power had all improved.

The one that had improved the most was still the Battle Sacred Body.

Ding!

"The Battle Sacred Body has been developed for 30 days under the enhancement of 1,000,000 times. It has already reached the late-stage Small Success realm. In addition, you have grasped the Battle Sacred Technique, Battle Movement Technique, Battle Divine Fist, and other body refinement techniques."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction, "It has already reached the late-stage Small Success realm. I reckon that it won't be long before I can develop the Battle Sacred Body to the Blood Transfusion realm."

In addition, during these 30 days, Qi Ming had cleared the Periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb 30 times and obtained the bloodline crystals that could increase the strength of the Dawn Dark Bat Demon and the Frost Crystal Maiden. It could allow them to complete their evolution.

However, he did not obtain the Inheritance Crystal that could allow Huo Changqing to advance.

Qi Ming planned to let the Dawn Dark Bat Demon and the Frost Crystal Maiden complete their evolution first after returning to the Heaven Secrets Manor. Huo Changqing could only be put aside for the moment.

It was time for Black Flame's Dragon Transformation Tribulation to be on the agenda.

As long as it succeeded, Black Flame could further transform into a dragon and advance from an elite pet to a rare pet.

In this month, Because Qi Ming had already finished reading all 1387 jade slips related to the history and legends of the Mystic World, he already had a sufficient understanding of the entire world.

First, regarding the birth of the Mystic World, there were three versions.

The first version.

Before the distant Origin Era, before the Mystic World was born, an unprecedented immortal battle erupted in the higher world. An Immortal King died in this battle.

This Immortal King's corpse fell out of the higher realm and arrived in the void. The Immortal King's corpse had floated in the void for countless years and epochs.

Until one day in the future.

This day was called: Origin Day.

The Immortal King's corpse gradually evolved into a world under the influence of the Void. The Immortal King's head, feet, left arm, and right arm respectively became the four divine mountains of the east, south, west, and north. His body became the central divine mountain and became the five supreme pillars of the Mystic World.

Every part of the Immortal King's body was evolving and perfecting this world. His left eye turned into the sun, and his right eye turned into the moon. His comprehension of the Dao transformed into earth, water, fire, and wind…

Finally, the Immortal King disappeared.

The Mystic World was born.

It entered the Origin Era.

The living beings that were born in the Mystic World respectfully called this Immortal King the Origin Immortal King.

…

The second version.

On the Origin Day, a Singularity was born in the void. This Singularity was indescribable and impossible to describe. 'He' was light, 'He' was darkness, and 'He' was the beginning of everything…

This Singularity was affected by the void, causing it to swell and explode. It was constantly expanding from a Singularity outwards…

Then, it had reached the limit.

The space in the Singularity surged with earth, water, fire, and wind. Five great Connate Origin Gods were born. They created the four divine mountains of the east, south, west, and north, evolving the central divine mountain and completely stabilizing the Mystic World, causing it to give birth to life and nurture all things…

The Mystic World was born.

The Origin Era thus arrived…

Chapter 141: Calamity

The third version.

Legend had it that there were Void Beasts in the 'Void'. On the day of the 'Origin', five Void Beasts of similar strength had encountered each other.

The five Void Beasts were: Metal Void Beast, Wood Void Beast, Water Void Beast, Fire Void Beast, and Earth Void Beast.

After the five Void Beasts met, a huge battle erupted. This battle was called the Battle of Origin by the living beings of the Mystic World.

This battle lasted for a long time until the five Void Beasts exhausted all their strength and died.

They died together.

The five Void Beast corpses gathered and fused together, gradually evolving into a world. The main bodies of the five Void Beasts evolved into the four divine mountains of the east, south, west, and north, as well as the Central Divine Mountain.

The five divine mountains suppressed the world and supported it.

The Mystic World successfully evolved.

A new world was born.

It was nurtured by everything.

The Origin Era had arrived…

"Three versions of the legend." Qi Ming pondered for a moment. "Actually, they all have one thing in common. Those are the five divine mountains. The east, south, west, north, and center divine mountains."

"The five divine mountains seem to represent the foundation of the Mystic World."

There were 1387 jade slips and books that recorded the Mystic World Era and history. There were various different contents, and there was even conflict between them.

Qi Ming spent a month organizing a relatively complete timeline regarding the Mystic World.

"Overall." Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Looking at the history and era of the entire Mystic World, from the Origin Day that the Mystic World was born, it can be divided into the Origin Era, the Far Ancient Era, the Ancient Era, the Near Ancient Era, and the current era."

"There are a total of five eras."

"From the Origin Day to the end of the Origin Era, there's not much information known at this time. It's impossible to determine how much time there is."

"However…"

"What's certain is that the Origin Era ended about nine calamities ago."

Calamity.

This was a unit measurement of time.

In addition, Calamity was just Calamity, not the Limitless Calamity.

In the Mystic World, there was no Limitless Calamity, only Calamity.

If years were used as the unit of measurement…

Meeting (18,000 years), Meeting Origin (129,600 years), Calamity (99 Meeting Origin).

Nine calamities was over a hundred million years of time.

To be more precise, it was 115,473,600 years.

"When the Origin Era ended, the world entered the Far Ancient Era. The beginning of the Far Ancient Era was the end of the Origin Era, and the end should be about two calamities ago."

"The length of time in the Far Ancient Era was seven calamities, which was more than 80 million years. It was almost 90 million years. To be more precise, it was 89,812,800 years."

"Also…"

"In the Far Ancient Era, a total of seven Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulations occurred. Seven unprecedented battles erupted, and it affected the entire Mystic World greatly."

"Until the seventh Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation ended, the Mystic World underwent a huge change. The six races of immortals, gods, devils, humans, demons, and ghosts were established. It completely ended the Far Ancient Era and entered the Ancient Era."

"The beginning of the Ancient Era was the end of the Far Ancient Era, and the end of the Ancient Era was about one calamity before the present day. In other words, the entire Ancient Era only experienced one Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation. After that, it completely ended."

"This Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation is the most terrifying calamity in the entire Mystic World. It's also the Heaven and Earth Tribulation that the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong experienced."

"Heaven and Earth Tribulation."

"For some reason, a gap inexplicably appeared in the sky, producing a scene of the sky collapsing. It caused the Void Wind to surge into the Mystic World. The Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong used his ten thousand years of cultivation to mend the sky and complete the gap."

"However…"

"That was the true beginning of this Heaven and Earth Tribulation."

"The five races joined forces and surrounded the Ancient Demon Court. The battle of the six races completely erupted. This battle caused the four divine mountains of the east, south, west, and north to collapse. Only the central divine mountain remained."

"The Mystic World is about to collapse."

"At this moment, the five races knew that their sins were deep. The five races' sovereigns transformed themselves into the Heaven Raising Divine Pillar and supported the Mystic World. Only then did they avoid the destruction of the world and repeat the calamity of world reconstruction."

"Since then, the Ancient Era has ended and entered the Near Ancient Era. The six races recuperated and stopped fighting. However, sects and Dao fields were established one after another."

"Under the gradual changes, in the entire Mystic World, various sects and families appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain."

"The sect established by Daoist Heaven Enlightenment was created in the Near Ancient Era. After the baptism of time, from the establishment of the sect until now, there have already been a total of twelve Meeting Origins (1,552,000 years)."

"Also…"

"The end of the Near Ancient Era was 100,000 years ago. It happened to be the year after the Grand Elder of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Lu Fengjian, ascended."

"The Near Ancient Era has ended and entered the current era. The current era has already experienced 100,000 years. In these 100,000 years, no ascension has occurred."

"Grand Elder Lu Fengjian can be said to be the last ascender at the end of the current era."

"This is the Mystic World I know now."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment, "Of course, there are definitely many secrets that I don't know. Although the Heaven Enlightenment Sect has already existed for more than a million years, and although the jade slips and books in the inheritance hall are very complete, I can't guarantee that they're all correct."

"There are definitely many things that even the Heaven Enlightenment Sect doesn't know."

"Also, regarding the Heaven and Earth Tribulation." Qi Ming continued to think, "This is a tribulation evolved by heaven and earth. It's also called: Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation, Heaven and Earth Great Calamity, and so on."

"In fact, the formation of the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation is the evolution of the world."

"Because life forms multiply in the world, be it immortals, Buddhas, gods, devils or demons, everyone is fighting for resources and absorbing the spiritual qi and energy of the world."

"If you can obtain it correctly and use it according to the circulation of the heaven and earth, you can balance the energy and nothing will happen."

"However, there are factions that privately control and interfere. They breed demons, immortals, and gods. If they want to grow, they will definitely have to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. Moreover, they are different from ordinary mortals. Mortals die in a hundred years. After they die, everything will be returned to the world. The balance will not be destroyed."

"Demons, devils, immortals, and gods are different. Their lifespans are extremely long. Those who reach the Core Formation realm can live for a thousand years at most. Those who reach the Nascent Soul realm can live for three thousand years at most. Those who reach the Leaving Aperture realm can live for six thousand years. Those who reach the Soul Formation realm can live for ten thousand years at most…"

"The higher your realm, the longer you live, the more heaven and earth spiritual qi you absorb. Even when an ascender enters the higher realm, they directly take away their entire quantity of heaven and earth spiritual qi."

"This way, it will cause the Heaven and Earth spiritual qi to become more and more unbalanced. Heaven and Earth energy will lose control, so it will walk step by step towards the tribulation."

"Under such circumstances, after accumulating to a certain extent, the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation will erupt. In the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation, karma will be chaotic, and fate will be uncertain. An unprecedented battle will often erupt, and a large number of demons, devils, immortals, and gods will die."

"The energy and fortune of the fallen demons, devils, immortals, and gods will return to the world. They can even feed the world and restore the balance of the spiritual qi."

At the door, Qi Ming walked out of the inheritance hall. The voice of the inheritance hall spirit No. 03 sounded in his mind.

"Goodbye, Legacy Disciple Qi."

Qi Ming nodded as a response.

Swish!

He flew away and returned to the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Half an hour later, Yang Li arrived at the legacy hall.

"Hall Spirit." Yang Li shouted.

"Sect Master."

A white light flashed and a white-clothed girl with a graceful figure appeared. She had an oval face, cherry lips, and long straight hair. Her skin was snow white and her jade legs were long. She held a book in her hand and had the aura of a scholar.

"What has Qi Ming been watching this month?" Yang Li asked.

"Sect Master, isn't it inappropriate for you to ask about a legacy disciple so bluntly?" The Hall Spirit replied.

"You only need to answer my question." Yang Li said solemnly.

"Alright." The hall spirit said, "Since it's the Sect Master's instructions, I naturally have to obey. Sect Master, in this month, Qi Ming has finished reading all 1387 jade slips related to the history and era of the Mystic World."

"What?" Yang Li pondered, "Why is he reading these jade slips and books? Didn't he try and find the divine powers and inheritance in the inheritance hall?"

"No." The Hall Spirit replied.

"Alright, I understand." Yang Li nodded.

"Sect Master, is there anything else?"

The hall spirit asked, "If not, I'll continue sleeping. I only slept for a thousand years this time and was woken up by you. You have to know how important adequate sleep is to a girl's maintenance."

"…"

Yang Li was a little speechless.

What did a hall spirit like it need to maintain?

It only knew how to sleep every day.

Who slept for thousands of years each time?

In addition…

Could the Hall Spirit be called a girl?

Yang Li was very suspicious.

"Reading the era and history, did he learn anything about the Yinglong Grotto-heaven?"

Yang Li thought to himself, "Many things are not recorded in the jade slip books. Instead, he needs to find the true answer himself."

Swish!

Yang Li's figure disappeared into thin air.

"Qi Ming?" The Hall Spirit seemed to be a little interested, "Someone who can make Yang Li pay attention to him should not be simple. However, I'm not interested in this. It's better to sleep."

The hall spirit also disappeared into thin air.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor, Qi Ming had already returned.

In the legacy hall, his gains were not small. At the very least, he had indeed figured out some things.

According to the time and concept of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, the formation of a tribulation required 99 Meeting Origins.

After the great calamity of the ancient era passed, the Mystic World entered the Near Ancient Era. From the beginning to the end of the Near Ancient Era, a total of 98 Meeting Origins had been crossed.

The current era basically began 100,000 years ago.

In other words…

According to the timeline, in less than 2,000 years, another Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation was about to happen.

No one had ascended in the past 100,000 years.

This seemed to be an abnormal sign.

"Regardless of whether the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation or Calamity will happen, what I need to do now is to increase my strength and become stronger."

Qi Ming said, "I'll cultivate safely in the Heaven Secrets Manor. As long as I'm strong enough, even if a Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation really appears, I can safely transcend it."

Chapter 142: Dragon Transformation Tribulation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Ming's words were indeed very reasonable. Because as long as one was strong enough, they could deal with any problem and be fearless of all dangers.

However, under the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, back then, the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong was forced to undergo the tribulation. He used the body of the Yinglong he had cultivated for ten thousand years to mend the gap in the world. There was no doubt about the strength of the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong. It was definitely the combat strength at the peak of the Mystic World.

The Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong had established the Ancient Demon Court and was a figure who had suppressed an era. However, the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong still faced the calamity.

Therefore…

Powerful strength was not absolute.

There were many factors.

Of course, if he ascended to the higher world, he would naturally leave the Mystic World and not be affected by it. However, in the past 100,000 years, no one had ascended to the Mystic World.

"Ascension." Qi Ming took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, but he saw nothing. There was only nothingness, "How can it be so easy?"

Qi Ming learned that the place where the Heaven Enlightenment Sect was located was actually the Southern Sacred Mountain, one of the five divine mountains. After the Southern Sacred Mountain collapsed, it evolved into this mountain range and forest.

The Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was refined from the three largest fragments after the collapse of the Southern Sacred Mountain.

The foundation of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect was sufficient to see how deep it was.

They could build the sect in the already collapsed Southern Sacred Mountain and obtain the three largest fragments of it. They could even refine it into the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

These already proved the power of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

"Activate."

With a thought, Qi Ming opened his inventory and took out two things. They were the bloodline crystals that could allow the Dawn Dark Bat Demon and the Frost Crystal Maiden to evolve.

Item: Bloodline Crystal—Dark Demon Bat.

Introduction: A 'Bloodline Crystal' produced in the periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb. It contains the inheritance and bloodline of the demon race's Dark Demon Bat. It is born with the power of light and darkness.

…

Item: Bloodline Crystal—Ice Demoness.

Introduction: A Bloodline Crystal produced in the periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb. It contains the inheritance and bloodline of the Heaven and Earth Spirit, the Ice Demoness. She was born with the power of the Dao of Ice.

…

"Come out."

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the Dawn Dark Bat Demon and the Frost Crystal Maiden appeared at the same time. They stood in front of Qi Ming. Their cultivation levels were only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

"Master." The Frost Crystal Maiden bowed.

"…"

The Dawn Dark Bat Demon flew around Qi Ming.

Qi Ming nodded, "Next, I'll let you fuse with the Bloodline Crystal and complete your evolution."

"Thank you, Master." The Frost Crystal Maiden bowed again.

"…"

The Dawn Dark Bat Demon let out a sound. It was also excited.

The Dawn Dark Bat Demon did not have enough intelligence. Coupled with the special nature of the Dawn Dark Bat bloodline, it could not refine the throat bone even after reaching the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and could not speak.

"Go!"

Swish! Swish!

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and two bloodline crystals flew out. The bloodline crystals that fused with the Dawn Dark Bat Demon were black and white. Moreover, they occupied half of each.

The Bloodline Crystal: Dark Demon Bat transformed into a blazing light. One black and one white. Light and darkness enveloped the Dawn Dark Bat Demon and fused into it.

Roar!

The Dawn Dark Bat Demon roared.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge black and white egg floating in the air.

"Go in."

Qi Ming waved his left hand, and the huge black and white egg transformed from the Dawn Dark Bat Demon disappeared into thin air, entering the first spirit pet slot to grow.

"I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Spirit Pet: Dawn Dark Bat Demon is growing under the enhancement of a million times… It's fusing with the Bloodline Crystal—Dark Demon Bat. Please wait patiently…"

A notification appeared.

"Not bad." Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.

An extremely bone-chilling cold surged, and waves of ice-blue fog spread. The Frost Crystal Maiden was fusing with the Bloodline Crystal—Ice Demoness.

The surrounding temperature fell drastically.

Not long after, the Frost Crystal Maiden became a small ice mountain, and the Frost Crystal Maiden was frozen in this ice mountain. It was lifelike, like an ice statue.

"You go in too."

Qi Ming waved his left hand again, and the Frost Crystal Maiden disappeared into thin air. In fact, he put the Frost Crystal Maiden into the third spirit pet slot and began to grow.

"I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Spirit Pet: Frost Crystal Maiden is growing under the enhancement of a million times… She is fusing with the Bloodline Crystal—Ice Demoness. Please wait patiently…"

A notification appeared.

"Not bad." Qi Ming nodded again.

"Next is Black Flame's Dragon Transformation Tribulation." Qi Ming said.

There was a flash.

Black Flame had already appeared.

"Master." Black Flame shrunk its body. It was only a meter long and circled in front of Qi Ming.

"Black Flame." Qi Ming said, "You're already at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm and have reached your current limit. Next, you need to transcend the Dragon Transformation Tribulation to advance further."

"Master, don't worry. I can definitely transcend the Dragon Transformation Tribulation." Black Flame said.

Qi Ming nodded.

Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

This was the greatest calamity of the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture. Normally speaking, one had to overcome the Dragon Transformation Tribulation three times.

They were: Flood Dragon Transformation, Dragon Transformation, and Yinglong Transformation.

Finally, it would transform into a True Dragon and ascend to the higher world.

"Go." Qi Ming said.

"Yes." Black Flame replied.

Roar!

Black Flame roared as its body transformed into a dragon-shaped stream of light. It directly rushed out of the Heaven Secrets Manor and flew into the sky, entering the Astral Layer outside the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Dragon roars sounded as flood dragons soared into the sky and black flames spread.

In the blink of an eye, it formed a pitch-black cloud layer.

"That is…"

"What happened?"

"Flood dragon! It's a flood dragon!"

"No! No!"

"That's Legacy Disciple Qi's spirit pet."

"This is…"

The commotion caused by Black Flame was not small, and it attracted the attention of many people. Everyone in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain looked over, and many had already recognized Black Flame's identity and background.

"What does this spirit pet want to do?"

"Or rather, what does Legacy Disciple Qi want to do?"

"…"

The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain were puzzled.

Roar! Roar!

A dragon roar sounded in all directions.

A few Grand Elders noticed this.

Crack! Crack!

At this moment, a change happened in the sky again. Lightning appeared and a storm brewed. Above the black flames, huge clouds appeared.

There were a total of six.

Moreover, they slowly gathered together.

"Oh."

"This flood dragon wants to transform into a dragon."

"As expected of Qi Ming. His spirit pet walks the path of the Dragon Transformation. This is an extremely difficult path. From ancient times until now, there are very few who can truly succeed. Only in ancient times did the True Dragons exist."

"This is the Dragon Transformation Tribulation."

"…"

The Grand Elders could tell at a glance.

Not long after, the Dragon Transformation Tribulation had already been nurtured.

Crack! Crack!

Terrifying thunder clouds covered an area of ten kilometers and locked onto the Black Flame Flood Dragon that wanted to transform into a dragon. The lightning bolts were like pythons and flood dragons that passed through the thunder clouds.

Roar! Roar!

Black Flame looked up and roared.

The Dragon Transformation Tribulation was the lightning tribulation nurtured by heaven and earth.

If it could withstand these lightning tribulations, it could be reborn in them and obtain the gift of the heavens and the earth. It would be reborn after the tribulation and obtain an evolution before successfully transforming into a dragon.

If it failed, it would die and everything it had would be returned to the world.

Crack!

In an instant, the Dragon Transformation Tribulation erupted.

It had accumulated enough strength.

Lightning and thunder tore through the air.

It lit up the surroundings.

It was as if half the space had been split open. The silver-purple lightning contained extremely terrifying power as it flashed at Black Flame, wanting to destroy it.

Roar!

Black Flame roared and spat out dragon breath, turning into an incomparably huge black flame pillar. It collided with the first lightning tribulation, producing a huge explosion.

The first lightning tribulation was blocked.

Rumble!!!

Immediately after, the second, third, fourth…

This Dragon Transformation Tribulation, because there were six thunderclouds gathered, had a total of six lightning tribulations. Moreover, each one was stronger and fiercer than the last.

Roar! Roar!

Black Flame roared repeatedly, dragon blood splattered, dragon scales splattered, and lightning enveloped its entire body. Streaks of lightning jumped on its dragon body…

Its entire body turned charred…

"This… this…"

"Lightning Tribulation! It's actually Lightning Tribulation!"

"That flood dragon is actually transcending the tribulation!"

"Gasp…"

"Could this be the Dragon Transformation Tribulation? Qi Ming's spirit pet actually walked the path of the Dragon Transformation. No wonder this flood dragon is so powerful."

"Can this flood dragon succeed?"

"Its injuries are already very serious."

"…"

The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain were all paying attention to Black Flame's tribulation. They had already figured out the situation and were very shocked.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

The fifth lightning tribulation landed.

This power was really too strong. Coupled with the fact that Black Flame had crossed four lightning tribulations and was injured, this lightning tribulation struck Black Flame's body and slashed his dragon claws into a bloody mist that filled the sky.

Black Flame roared and screamed.

Qi Ming stood up. He looked at Black Flame's heavily injured body and frowned, "The power of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation is actually so strong. It's already the fifth, but Black Flame's injuries are too serious. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it."

Qi Ming circulated the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques.

He wanted to help.

"Master… Master…" Black Flame sent a voice transmission, "I… I can… do it…"

Qi Ming took a deep breath and restrained the Dharmic powers he had mobilized. He also put down the divine power he wanted to use, "In that case, Black Flame, I believe you can succeed on your own."

Roar!

In an instant, Black Flame let out a dragon roar. It erupted with all its might and used the Yinglong Nine Transformations. At this moment, it seemed to have transformed into the pitch-black Yinglong that soared into the sky.

Crack!

The sixth lightning tribulation landed.

It was the purple lightning.

The power contained in it struck Black Flame's body.

Bang bang bang!!!

Crack! Crack!!!

At this moment, countless explosions sounded, and crackling sounds sounded. All kinds of lights flickered, and dazzling white light blocked the sky.. The trembling energy caused the surrounding astral qi to fluctuate violently.

Chapter 143: Hornless Black Dragon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Ming had always been paying attention to Black Flame's situation. His gaze did not move at all. When he saw this situation, his heart tightened.

Not long after, the dazzling white light slowly dissipated. The trembling spiritual qi calmed down, and the aftershock calmed down.

The Lightning Tribulation Cloud was also gradually dissipating, and the might of heaven and earth slowly calmed.

Under the tribulation clouds, lightning flickered, electrical arcs flickering.

The situation of Black Flame was reflected in everyone's eyes. Its entire body seemed to have turned into charcoal. Wisps of black smoke appeared, and lightning flickered on its body.

It was as if it had completely lost its vitality.

"S-success?"

"I'm not sure."

"That is…"

"A corpse? Could it have failed?"

"That's a pity…"

Everyone in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was discussing.

"Failed?" Qi Ming frowned but soon shook his head.

Black Flame did not die.

This was because through the weak connection between the spirit pets, he felt the chance of survival in Black Flame's body. It was only very weak, but it existed and was extremely tenacious. It could not be extinguished.

"It succeeded."

Qi Ming's mood relaxed as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Crack! Crack!

Cracks slowly appeared in Black Flame's body. When the cracks appeared, an extremely terrifying devouring power spread out and acted in the surroundings.

Vast spiritual qi poured into Black Flame's body.

As the cracks increased, this devouring force became stronger and stronger.

Vast spiritual qi surged into Black Flame's body and was gradually refined by it, turning into its power. Its vitality also became stronger and stronger.

"This… this…"

"Success, this flood dragon succeeded…"

"Gasp…"

"It passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. It actually passed."

"Oh my god."

"As expected of a spirit pet nurtured by Legacy Disciple Qi. It's really too strong. It actually passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and really survived."

"This is too shocking."

"This is the first time I've seen a flood dragon transcend the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. It's really the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. I've only seen the way of the Dragon Transformation recorded in the jade slip of the Legacy Hall."

"I've really seen it today."

Everyone was shocked.

Roar!

The next moment, Black Flame revived, and all the charred skin fell off. It was as if half of its skin had been shed. Its true body soared into the sky and emitted dragon might.

Vast black dragon flames enveloped the surroundings.

"Very good."

Qi Ming's face was filled with joy.

At this moment, in the Demon Court of the Southern Region, in the Demon Lord Hall.

There was a boy who was just in his teens. He was originally playing with the palace maids of the Demon Court, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

Then, at the center of his brows, there was a golden dragon-shaped mark.

At this moment, a faint light emitted. The dragon-shaped mark was like a golden Yinglong Dharma Idol. This boy's gaze was focused on the direction of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

"It has actually transformed into a dragon."

Although this boy's voice was childish, it was filled with dignity, "This is too unexpected."

In the surroundings, the palace maids had long been pressed to the ground by an invisible pressure. They could not even maintain their human forms and returned to their original forms. They were all demons.

"We might have to hurry." The boy said.

Swish! Swish!

At this moment, the Demon Lord of the Demon Court and all the demon gods arrived.

The boy fainted. The phenomenon disappeared, and the golden dragon mark between his brows returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"This…"

The Demon Court's Demon Lord was dressed in a luxurious robe and was surrounded by fog. He could not see clearly. He looked at the boy who had fainted and said in a serious tone, "He actually woke up at this time. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse."

This boy who was less than ten years old was the Demon Court Dragon Son that the Dragon Alligator Venerable had brought out from the Heaven Enlightenment Sect at the price of his life.

In addition…

If Qi Ming were here, he would definitely feel that there was a huge connection between the two when he saw the golden dragon mark between the boy's brows and recalled the image left behind by the ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong.

Of course, Qi Ming did not know at the moment.

Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

Black Flame had already successfully passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and successfully evolved from a flood dragon to a dragon. It underwent a huge transformation and evolution before returning to Qi Ming's side.

"Master."

Swish!

Black Flame shrunk to a meter in length and stopped in front of Qi Ming. He said happily, "I succeeded, I succeeded…"

Qi Ming smiled. "Congratulations."

It was simple.

Black Flame's appearance had changed greatly. It had already completely transformed into the appearance of a True Dragon, but its entire body was pitch-black like a black dragon.

It had a horse face, dragon beard, snake body, eagle claws, dragon scales, and lion tail.

It was indeed like the image of a True Dragon in myths and legends.

There was only one thing.

There were no horns.

Ding!

"Congratulations, host. The spirit pet: Black Flame Flood Dragon has successfully passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. It transformed into a dragon from a flood dragon and underwent an all-round transformation and evolution to become a rare spirit pet: Hornless Black Dragon."

A notification appeared.

"Hornless Black Dragon."

Qi Ming smiled. "This name is quite suitable."

Rare spirit pet: Hornless Black Dragon.

Introduction: Originally, it was only an elite spirit pet produced by Dragon Island. It possessed the bloodline of the Black Dragon Race, but it absorbed the incomplete Red Flood Dragon Pearl and evolved into a Black Flame Flood Dragon. After reaching the complete form, it further passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and obtained an unprecedented transformation. It advanced to a rare spirit pet, the Hornless Black Dragon. It grasped the Black Flame Divine Power. It can walk, fly, and control water. It can be small and powerful. It can overturn rivers and seas, swallow wind and fog, or summon clouds and rain. When it grows to the complete form, its cultivation level can reach the late-stage Dao Integration realm.

"Late-stage Dao Integration."

A smile appeared on Qi Ming's face, "The result of this evolution is a little unexpected. It can actually directly grow to the late-stage Dao Integration realm."

"Human Transformation of the Yinglong Nine Transformations."

Black Flame's figure flashed as a black light lit up. It transformed from a black dragon into a human and stood on the ground.

"Black Flame greets Master."

The human figure of Black Flame was only a boy below 15 years old. He had long black hair and wore a black dragon robe. He had black hair and eyes, and his skin was fair and smooth. He was very handsome and cute.

Qi Ming reached out and gently rubbed Black Flame's head, "You can already transform into a human."

"Yes, Master." Black Flame replied obediently.

"Go to the spirit pet slot and grow." Qi Ming said.

"Yes." Black Flame nodded.

Another white light flashed.

Black Flame disappeared into thin air. Qi Ming put Black Flame into the fourth spirit pet slot and let it grow.

"I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Rare spirit pet: Black Flame is growing under the enhancement of a million times. Because the Rare spirit pet: Black Flame cultivates the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture and walks the path of the Dragon Transformation, it requires more time to grow."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming nodded slightly and closed the notification in front of him, "Under the enhancement of a million times, it's fine even if it needs more time."

Three days later.

Ding!

"Spirit Pet: Dawn Dark Bat Demon has grown for three days under the enhancement of a million times. It has already completely fused with the Bloodline Crystal—Dark Demon Bat and advanced to an elite spirit pet: Dark Demon Bat. It can at most grow to the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

…

Ding!

"Spirit Pet: Frost Crystal Maiden has grown for three days under the enhancement of a million times. She has already completely fused with the Bloodline Crystal: Ice Demoness and advanced to an elite spirit pet: Ice Demoness. She can at most reach the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

…

Two consecutive notifications appeared.

"Okay." Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.

A month later, Su Qingyin came to visit Qi Ming. She wanted to invite him to go out and train. She wanted to go to a place called the Seamless Ruins to search for ancient treasures.

Qi Ming rejected.

He did not want to go out and train. With the Heaven Enlightenment Sect guarding him, he could just cultivate in the Heaven Secrets Manor in peace.

Three months later.

Ding!

"The Battle Sacred Body has been developed for three months under the enhancement of a million times. It has already risen from the late-stage Small Success realm to the late-stage Blood Transfusion realm and has reached the limit of its current realm. If you need to continue developing and upgrading the Battle Sacred Body, please increase the host's cultivation realm first."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming's entire body shook. The blood in his body surged. Golden light flickered all over his body. His Battle Will had condensed to the extreme Battle Sacred Body and was further developed.

Qi Ming's blood began to change. It fused with the Battle Will and the Battle Divine Power. He began to be reborn and gradually turned from the original bright red to a faint golden color.

Finally, it completely turned pure gold.

The blood transfusion was completed.

The Battle Sacred Body had developed to the late-stage Blood Transfusion realm.

This way, the power of the Battle Sacred Body could be truly used.

At this level, the Battle Sacred Body's advantage would be completely unleashed.

His physical body was invincible, and he was peerless in battle. He was immune to all evil and could fight immortals.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, for some reason, the sky was changing. Wind and clouds surged, and the heavens were in chaos. Countless lightning bolts appeared above the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, but they were unable to descend for a long time, as if they were unable to lock onto something.

Due to the changes in the world, the Sacred Body was not allowed to appear. However, Qi Ming had forcefully developed the Battle Sacred Body to the late-stage Blood Transfusion realm.

This had already attracted the notice of the world.

"But…"

However, it could not lock onto Qi Ming.

This way, it became the current situation.

"There's indeed something wrong with this world."

Qi Ming raised his head and looked at the scene above the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, "I only developed the Battle Sacred Body to the late-stage Blood Transfusion realm, but it caused such a huge change."

"I still have to keep a low profile." Qi Ming thought to himself.

No matter what, Qi Ming's current strength could not resist heaven and earth.

The difference was too great.

Chapter 144: Activating the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush

Qi Ming spent the next period of time cultivating in the Heaven Secrets Manor. The changes in the outside world were the same as usual. There were no huge waves, and there were no signs of a great calamity.

Every sect and family often fought over resources.

In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, nothing major happened anymore.

Basically, the legacy disciples of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain cultivated in their cave abodes or went out to gain experience, increase their knowledge, increase their combat experience, search for opportunities, seek breakthroughs, and so on.

Only Qi Ming, from the beginning to the end, had never left the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

On this day, at night.

When Qi Ming had time, he wanted to try to use the Book of Changes Eight Trigrams Nascent Soul and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power to open the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush.

In the end, he had really succeeded. There was no difficulty at all.

Light flowed.

The Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush floated into the air and lit up. Pure white light shone like a sun, illuminating the entire Heaven Secrets Manor.

"He… he actually opened it."

Shangguan Wenge appeared. A hint of surprise appeared on his face. He looked at the Eight Trigrams Formation that appeared in the sky above the Heaven Secrets Manor and said in a very shocked tone, "He actually cultivated the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power to the Perfection realm so quickly."

"This… this…"

Shock.

It was extremely shocking.

The Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power was not a realm spell technique. It was a true Lesser Divine Power. Moreover, it was one of the divine powers that Patriarch Heaven Secrets was most proud of.

Back then, in the battle between Shangguan Wenge and Patriarch Heaven Secrets, he had suffered a huge loss in the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power. Therefore, he still remembered this Lesser Divine Power extremely clearly.

Now, Qi Ming had only obtained the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power for more than a decade, but he had actually cultivated this Lesser Divine Power to the Perfection realm.

Such talent…

Such potential…

Shangguan Wenge was already completely shocked by Qi Ming.

"Unbelievable."

Shangguan Wenge continued, "It's too unbelievable. What level has his talent reached? If he wants to open the seal of the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush, he needs to cultivate the Book of Changes to the Nascent Soul realm and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power to the Perfection realm."

"He did it all."

"Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

Shangguan Wenge took a deep breath and looked at the light of the Mystic Gate Eight Trigrams Formation, "As expected of you. You actually found such a personal disciple."

"Hahaha…" Shangguan Wenge laughed loudly.

In the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone, waves of fluctuations sounded.

There was fog.

"How… how is this possible?!"

Immediately after, Patriarch Heaven Secrets' shocked voice sounded from the forbidden land.

Patriarch Heaven Secrets also sensed the situation on Qi Ming's side. He was shocked and was forced to wake up again. He was really shocked by Qi Ming's cultivation speed.

"This personal disciple of mine is actually so monstrous?"

Patriarch Heaven Secrets said, "Hahaha… That's great."

The reason why Patriarch Heaven Secrets accepted Qi Ming as his personal disciple was naturally because he saw the workings of the heavens in Qi Ming and saw a glimmer of hope.

Now, Qi Ming had displayed such extraordinary monstrous talent. Not only was Patriarch Heaven Secrets not suspicious, but he was also very happy and excited.

As long as Qi Ming was stronger and more talented, he would be of greater help to Patriarch Heaven Secrets in the future.

At this moment, Qi Ming had already used the Book of Changes Eight Trigrams Nascent Soul and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power to completely open the seal on the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush. The two treasures of the Heaven Secrets lineage were truly revealed in front of Qi Ming.

Light flashed.

Countless talisman characters surged out of the Heaven Secrets Book. He flipped open page after page as a vast light spread out, enveloping the entire Heaven Secrets Manor.

At this moment, under the stimulation of the Heaven Secrets Book, the Heavens Secret Manor had completely recovered.

From the outside world, the entire Heaven Secrets Manor was enveloped in a layer of white light, forming a strange Eight Trigrams Formation that blocked everything in the manor and could not be seen.

In the sky, Yang Li and the Grand Elders appeared.

"This…"

"The Heaven Secrets Manor has actually reactivated so quickly."

"How did Qi Ming do it?"

"Unbelievable."

Yang Li and the Grand Elders exclaimed.

Not long after, the Heaven Secrets Manor had completely revived.

The Heaven Secrets Manor was not an ordinary manor. This was the manor of Patriarch Heaven Secrets, so how could it be an ordinary manor?

To be precise, the Heaven Secrets Manor was an extremely powerful Dharma treasure in itself. It had already reached the limit of the Mystic World. It was only a step away from becoming an Immortal Artifact.

The Heaven Secrets Manor formed a space.

It had the divine power of the Spatial Genesis.

Swish! Swish!

The next moment, three streaks of light flew out from the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush. They contained peerlessly profound runes. Qi Ming did not dodge. Three streaks of light fused into his mind.

Boom!

The Three Pure Dao Scripture circulated.

The three streaks of light were suppressed in Qi Ming's body.

They gradually appeared.

They were: Connate Book of Changes Dao Attainment Scripture, Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power, Five Elements Cycle Divine Power.

"This is…"

Qi Ming's eyes lit up as he continued circulating the Three Pure Dao Scripture. The Three Pure Nascent Soul chanted the scripture as the three streaks of light were gradually refined.

Not long after, Qi Ming turned these three streaks of light into his.

This way, he absorbed them and memorized them.

"I see."

Qi Ming understood. "The Connate Book of Changes Dao Attainment Scripture is the fundamental method to achieve the Dao and ascend. After cultivating the Book of Changes to the Perfection realm, I can cultivate it."

"The Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power and the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power are the Lesser Divine Powers. These two Lesser Divine Powers and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power can be combined to unleash an even stronger power."

"When the three Lesser Divine Powers are combined, their power is endless. They can calculate the workings of the heavens, tamper with the workings of the heavens, defy the heavens, and change fate. They can calculate everything and control the world."

"That's why Patriarch Heaven Secrets is called Heaven Secrets."

"These are all the fundamental methods of Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

Patriarch Heaven Secrets indeed treated Qi Ming as his personal disciple. He had passed down all his legacy to Qi Ming.

He did not hold back at all.

Immediately after, Qi Ming sat cross-legged and began to truly refine the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush. The levels of the two treasures were too high, far exceeding the Nascent Soul realm.

Qi Ming could only begin the initial refinement and insert his mark.

This was enough.

Immediately after, Qi Ming then refined and grasped the Heaven Secrets Manor through the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush. The Heaven Secrets Manor was also an extremely high-level Dharma treasure. Qi Ming could only refine it at the initial stage.

The Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush were the treasures of the heavens specially refined by Patriarch Heaven Secrets with the three Lesser Divine Techniques. At the moment when Patriarch Heaven Secrets was at his peak strength, he forcefully intercepted a wisp of fate from the Mystic World and fused it into the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush.

These were two Heaven Secrets Supreme Treasures.

They might not be powerful in battle, but they were very powerful in other aspects.

Now.

They temporarily belonged to Qi Ming.

After refining these three treasures, Qi Ming had a preliminary understanding of the power of the Heaven Secrets Brush and the Heaven Secrets Book. He also had a similar understanding of the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"Okay."

Qi Ming woke up. With a wave of his right hand, the Heaven Secrets Brush and the Heaven Secrets Book transformed into two streaks of light that landed in his hand, emitting a lustrous luster.

Swish!

Qi Ming closed his right hand, and the Heaven Secrets Brush and the Heaven Secrets Book had already fused into his dantian. Like the three intrinsic treasures, they surrounded the Three Pure Nascent Soul.

"Thank you, Master."

Then, Qi Ming bowed to the location of the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone.

At this moment, the Heaven Secrets Manor had already completely recovered. In front of Qi Ming, rich colors of light gathered and transformed into a white-haired youth.

"Manor Spirit Su Qimen greets Young Master."

The white-haired youth bowed to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming stood up and sized up this Manor Spirit. After Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone, this Manor Spirit had also fallen asleep. It only truly woke up today.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor, there were nine grotto-heavens.

Every grotto-heaven was like a small world. Moreover, the scope and size of every grotto-heaven was not inferior to the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. After grasping the Heaven Secrets Manor, he had grasped these nine grotto-heavens.

In these nine grotto-heavens, naturally, there were many living beings.

Apart from that, Patriarch Heaven Secrets also spread the cultivation methods of the Heaven Secrets lineage in the nine grotto-heavens. If all the Heaven Secrets lineage in the nine grotto-heavens were gathered, it would be an extremely powerful force.

Grotto-heavens were independent spaces that could only be opened by experts with unfathomable cultivations. With the Mystic World as the foundation, opening a grotto-heaven was like a mighty force that could split the heavens and earth.

Normally speaking, if one wanted to establish a grotto-heaven, at the very least, he needed to be at the Dao Integration realm to succeed.

The size of the grotto-heaven was divided into: Small Grotto-heaven, Large Grotto-heaven, Grotto-heaven Blessed Land, and Grotto-heaven World.

The nine grotto-heavens of the Heaven Secrets Manor were all grotto-heaven worlds.

They were all the largest possible grotto-heavens.

Yinglong Grotto-heaven was also a grotto-heaven world.

Normally speaking, in the grotto-heaven world, living beings could also cultivate.

Without completely sealing the grotto-heaven, the cultivation in the grotto-heaven world would not be restricted at all.

If he completely sealed the grotto-heaven, causing the connection between the grotto-heaven world and the Mystic World to be severed, the cultivation would be restricted by the grotto-heaven world, making it difficult for anyone to cultivate to a high realm.

Normally speaking, they could only cultivate the path of the creator of the grotto-heaven world.

For tens of thousands of years, although the Heaven Secrets Manor was inactive, it was not completely sealed.

This way, the nine grotto-heaven worlds were also not completely sealed. The living beings in the nine grotto-heaven worlds were naturally not restricted.

After so much time, these nine grotto-heaven worlds would definitely give birth to powerful existences.

If he completely subdued the nine grotto-heavens, Qi Ming could definitely control and obtain a large number of powerful subordinates.

He did not have much interest in this, but it did not stop him from going to the nine grotto-heavens to take a look. After all, it was quite boring to only cultivate every day. He could find something to do to pass the time.

Chapter 145: Su Qimen

The nine grotto-heavens of the Heaven Secrets Manor were named after Patriarch Heaven Secrets' Mystic Gate Divination and Eight Trigrams.

They were: Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, Hidden Armor grotto-heaven, Eight Trigrams grotto-heaven, Yin-Yang grotto-heaven, Wind Empress grotto-heaven, Taiji grotto-heaven, Twin Poles grotto-heaven, Four Symbols grotto-heaven, and Book of Changes grotto-heaven.

There were a total of nine.

Qi Ming had just started refining the Heaven Secrets Manor. He could only open the entrance to the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven and could only enter it for the time being.'

"Su Qimen." Qi Ming said, "You're the Manor Spirit of the Heaven Secrets Manor. You know more about it than me. Tell me about this Heaven Secrets Manor, the nine grotto-heavens, and the situation of the Heaven Secrets Manor."

"Yes." Su Qimen nodded, "The Heaven Secrets Manor contains worlds of its own. When the Young Master is in the Heaven Secrets Manor, you can use the power of the manor to fight your enemies."

"In the Heaven Secrets Manor, there are also the 28 Constellation Array, the Mystic Gate Divination Array, the Five Elements Cycle Array, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Array, and many other different array formations. There are a total of 108 array formations of all sizes."

"After putting them all together, there are a total of 129,600 different changes."

"Young Master, you've only just refined the Heaven Secrets Manor. You can only grasp the power of the manor at the initial stage. There are still many abilities that you can't activate or use."

"Regarding the nine grotto-heavens, your cultivation level is too low, Young Master. You're only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. If you want to enter the nine grotto-heavens to train or subdue the Heaven Secrets lineage, I think that you have to at least be at the Soul Formation realm. It's best if you're in the Dao Integration realm."

"…"

Su Qimen introduced and explained the Heaven Secrets Manor and the nine grotto-heavens to Qi Ming one after another.

Because he had been sleeping for too long, tens of thousands of years had passed. He did not know what the situation in the nine grotto-heavens would be.

Under such circumstances, he could only advise Qi Ming not to enter the grotto-heaven world for the time being. He could first increase his cultivation and strength before entering.

"As expected of the Heaven Secrets Manor created by Master. It has already completely fused the Dao of Heaven Secrets and three Small Divine Techniques. There are also many changes that are impossible to guard against."

Qi Ming secretly praised, "I'm not anxious about the grotto-heaven world. The nine grotto-heavens are in the Heaven Secrets Manor and are connected to it. I can go anytime I want."

"I'm relieved that Young Master thinks so." Su Qimen said.

Then, Qi Ming chatted about many things with Su Qimen. He also told Qi Ming many things that had happened ten thousand years ago, allowing him to know many things.

"Su Qimen, you're finally awake."

At this moment, Shangguan Wenge came to the door of the main courtyard and said indifferently.

Su Qimen looked over. His expression did not change, but his eyes were filled with disgust, "You're actually not dead."

"Hehe." Shangguan Wenge immediately sneered, "Even if Patriarch Heaven Secrets dies, I won't die."

"Hmph!" Su Qimen snorted coldly and cupped his hands in greeting to Qi Ming, "Young Master, do you know the background of this Shangguan Wenge?"

"I'm not sure." Qi Ming said.

"We still have to talk about it at that time."

Su Qimen began to expose Shangguan Wenge, "He was originally only a scholar who was down and out. He could only rely on his wife to live. He studied hard and only wanted to be ranked on the Golden Rankings. He entered the capital to rush for the examinations, but he failed to achieve anything. After he returned home in a daze, he discovered that his entire family had died. Moreover…"

"Su Qimen, shut up!"

Shangguan Wenge suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were scarlet red. There was a type of demonic qi and Divine Dao qi flowing endlessly around his body, "If you say another word, believe it or not, I'll make you vanish completely."

"Hehe…"

Su Qimen sneered, "Old fellow, who are you threatening? In your current situation, your entire cultivation has been sealed. What can you do?"

"You can try." Shangguan Wenge said word by word.

"Young Master." Su Qimen's gaze flickered, "Tens of thousands of years ago, Shangguan Wenge was a great demon who treated human lives as dirt. He cultivated the Demon Dao in the beginning, and midway, he switched to the Divine Dao."

"Moreover…"

"In order to fuse the Demon Dao and the Divine Dao, he transformed into a Calamity Fiendcelestial and planned a calamity that swept through the entire Southern Region. If not for Patriarch Heaven Secrets' flawless plan and setting up an inescapable net, the entire Southern Region would have been plunged into misery and suffering."

"An old demon like him should be destroyed directly."

"Ridiculous." Shangguan Wenge snorted coldly in disdain, "How much better do you think you can be? Su Qimen, you were originally a North Sea Evil Dragon that wreaked havoc in the surroundings of the North Sea and caused trouble, causing countless people to die. In the end, didn't you fall into the hands of that old fellow, Patriarch Heaven Secrets? You were even refined into this Heaven Secrets Manor's spirit."

"In terms of sins…"

"You have also committed many sins."

"The pot calling the kettle black?"

"Young Master." Shangguan Wenge said, "I feel that we can refine this Su Qimen's Essence Soul and let your spirit pet absorb it. Perhaps it can let your spirit pet advance further and directly transcend the third Dragon Transformation Tribulation. It can reach the heavens in a single step and become the Yinglong."

"What?" Su Qimen was stunned, "Spirit pet? Dragon Transformation Tribulation? This… Young Master…"

"That's true." Qi Ming nodded.

"Black Flame, come out."

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and a black light flashed. Black Flame came out of the spirit pet growth slot and transformed into a humanoid little boy.

"Master." Black Flame bowed.

Qi Ming nodded.

"This… this…"

Su Qimen was stunned. His gaze looked over and landed on Black Flame. He gasped and exclaimed, "The… the Dao of Dragon Transformation. He… he even passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation."

"Dragon! It's indeed a dragon!"

In the Mystic World, demons with the True Dragon bloodline could choose two different paths.

The first one was the Dao of Dragon Transformation.

Cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture of different attributes and types required only to transcend the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and become a True Dragon step by step. Then, they would ascend to the higher world and become a True Dragon.

At that time, even if they entered the higher realm, their status would not be low as a True Dragon Immortal.

The second type was the path of cultivation.

That was to not transform into a dragon and only cultivate the cultivation technique realm. Under normal circumstances, they would increase his cultivation step by step and eventually ascend to the higher world. However, in this situation, after entering the higher world, their status would be very low.

The Dao of Dragon Transformation was clearly more difficult than the Dao of Cultivation.

Moreover, it was dangerous.

Not only did the Dragon Transformation Dao need to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, but it also needed to transcend the three Dragon Transformation Tribulations. Each time, it was more dangerous than the last. If one was not careful, they would lose everything and die.

One only needed to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation to cultivate the Dao.

Black Flame walked the Dao of the Dragon Transformation. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Dragon Transformation. It cultivated the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture. This was the fundamental method of the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong.

What Su Qimen walked was not the Dao of Dragon Transformation, because he was originally a North Sea Evil Dragon. His True Dragon bloodline was already at the level of a Dragon. He had once thought of walking the Dao of Dragon Transformation, but he had given up because it was too dangerous and difficult. He walked the Dao of Cultivation.

"Hello." Black Flame greeted Su Qimen.

"Young… Young Master… This… You…"

Su Qimen's expression had already stiffened on the spot. He was extremely shocked and stunned in his heart. He was not only shocked that Black Flame had passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

Most importantly, he noticed Black Flame's age.

After Black Flame transformed into a human, he was only a teenage boy.

He was too young.

His true age would not exceed a hundred years.

"How is this possible?"

Su Qimen exclaimed, "How can a spirit pet walk the path of the Dragon Transformation? Moreover, it succeeded and passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation to become a dragon."

"Passing the Dragon Transformation Tribulation at such a young age."

"This is simply too monstrous."

"Too monstrous!"

"Young Master."

Shangguan Wenge continued, "Shangguan Wenge is a North Sea Evil Dragon. The true dragon bloodline in his body is extremely dense. Moreover, his cultivation level back then was not low. Young Master, if your spirit pet swallowed him, I believe it will grow greatly."

"You… you're bullsh*tting…"

Su Qimen returned to his senses. He was shocked and his face was pale. He had just woken up from a slumber that had lasted for tens of thousands of years. He did not want to be swallowed by a small dragon that had not grown up.

"Young… Young Master."

Su Qimen quickly said, "You must not listen to Shangguan Wenge's nonsense. Young Master's spirit pet aptitude is peerless and rare in the world."

"Under such circumstances, Young Master's spirit pet has broken through the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. If it devours me, not only will it not be beneficial to Young Master's spirit pet, but it will also taint the bloodline of Young Master's spirit pet. It's really not worth it."

"Shangguan Wenge doesn't know this at all, that's why he's talking nonsense."

"Young Master, please reconsider."

Su Qimen bowed.

"Alright."

Qi Ming waved his right hand and let Black Flame return to the spirit pet growth slot.

"Are the two of you so at odds? You want to kill each other from the beginning?"

Qi Ming looked at Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge because the conflict between the two of them was too obvious. As long as one was not an idiot, they would not be able to tell, "What's the matter?"

"Why don't you tell me?"

"This…" Su Qimen pondered.

"Hehe."

Shangguan Wenge sneered a few times and said in a disdainful tone, "This matter is very simple. Back then, because I fell into Patriarch Heaven Secrets' trap, I made a bet and lost to him. I had no choice but to become his subordinate."

"That battle was chaotic. Many of Patriarch Heaven Secrets' treasures were destroyed. After the battle ended, he could only think of ways to refine various treasures."

"Patriarch Heaven Secrets wanted to refine the Heaven Secrets Manor, but he lacked a Manor Spirit. Therefore, he used the Heaven Secrets Technique to deduce and lock onto the fact that the North Sea Evil Dragon was the most suitable for the Heaven Secrets Manor Spirit."

"I was the one who captured him back then."

"This old loach is very slippery. His mouth is especially smelly. He was beaten quite a bit back then…"

"Shangguan Wenge."

Su Qimen roared, "What are you smug about? Back then, if not for being trapped by Patriarch Heaven Secrets' Heaven Secrets Array, I would not have been able to unleash 50% of my strength and divine powers. How could you be my match?"

"You don't look convinced."

Shangguan Wenge said indifferently, "You're not convinced? Then let's spar again?"

"So be it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Su Qimen shouted.

"Alright." Qi Ming berated, "Shut up, the two of you. According to your age, the two of you are almost 100,000 years old. Can you be more mature?"

"How many years has it been? Why are you still not letting go?"

"Young Master is right."

Su Qimen lowered his head.

"Since Young Master has said so, I'll let him off."

Shangguan Wenge shrugged.

"You…"

Su Qimen frowned and glared back.

"The two of you can leave."

Qi Ming held his forehead with his right hand and waved his hand.

"Yes." Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge nodded at the same time and went down together. They left Qi Ming's vision and arrived in the courtyard.

"Old devil." Su Qimen shouted.

"Old loach." Shangguan Wenge glared.

"Take this."

"Monkey Fishing the Moon."

"Twin Dragon Drill."

"Rhinoceros Finger."

"Ah!!"

"Old Devil, you don't talk about virtue."

"I don't need virtue to fight you."

"Watch my move, Monkey Steals Peaches…"

"…"

In the courtyard, these two old fellows that were almost 100,000 years old and above were like two hoodlums who fought at close quarters. They pulled each other's hair, ears, crotch, and even stabbed at the anus.

It was simply painful to watch…

"I'm speechless too."

Qi Ming also noticed it and his forehead was covered in black lines.

Honestly, he wondered if these two old fellows had really lived for tens of thousands of years. Why were they like old urchins with incomplete minds? It really made him speechless.

Qi Ming did not plan to participate in the grudge between these two. Among the two of them, one was the Manor Spirit, and the other's cultivation was sealed and could not unleash his strength.

Forget it, just let them fight.

They could not be injured anyway.

They would only embarrass themselves.

Since they did not feel embarrassed themselves, Qi Ming did not care.

Actually…

Among the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques that Qi Ming grasped, there were similar mystic techniques. Heavenly Observation, Future Sight, Five Elements Escape, and Six Mystic Gates.

They completely overlapped with the three Lesser Divine Powers that Patriarch Heaven Secrets had given Qi Ming.

That referred to the Mystic Gate Divination, Five Elements Cycle, and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Powers.

Qi Ming still placed these three Lesser Divine Power Techniques into the AFK Farming slot and cultivated them. This was because the power of these three Lesser Divine Power Techniques was not weak, and they were easier to master.

Most importantly…

If he combined these divine power techniques, they could be of great use.

There was no pressure if one had more skills.

In the following period of time, Qi Ming basically spent his time cultivating in the Heaven Secrets Manor. When he had the time, he would go to the inheritance hall and read some books. He would also return to the Green Cloud Peak and visit Elder Feng, Senior Sister Lü Qingyan, and the others.

In addition, after Xiao Fan and Yuan Feng became legacy disciples of the Green Cloud Peak, their cultivation levels and strength increased steadily. Because Senior Sister Lü Qingyan had broken through and established herself, she had broken through to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. Her cultivation level was also slowly rising.

His Senior Sister's talent was average, and could not even compare to Xiao Fan and Yuan Feng. Otherwise, Feng Zimu would not have only taken Senior Sister as his in-name disciple back then.

The Heaven Enlightenment Assembly had already been held several times.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a year later.

Ding!

"The Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power has been cultivated for a year under the enhancement of a million times. It has already crossed the Small Success stage and Large Success stage to reach the Perfection Stage."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming entered that peerless profound state. He was comprehending the profundity of the Mystic Gate Divination Technique, and he gradually understood and grasped it.

In an extremely short period of time, it reached Perfection.

The level of the Lesser Divine Power was different from the mastery of the realm spell technique.

Above the Perfection realm, there was also a Profound stage. If one reached the Profound realm, the Lesser Divine Power Technique could gain deep profundity and possess an even stronger and wonderful power.

Qi Ming's current cultivation level could only increase the Lesser Divine Power to the Perfection realm.

This was the limit.

"Okay."

The corners of Qi Ming's mouth curled up. By mastering the Mystic Gate Divination Technique, it meant that he had another powerful divine power. This was naturally a good thing.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

Ding!

"The Five Elements Cycle Divine Power has been cultivated for a year under the enhancement of a million times. It has already crossed the Small Success stage and Large Success stage to reach the Perfection Stage."

A notification appeared.

With a thought, Qi Ming entered that wonderful comprehension state again. He hurriedly comprehended and cultivated the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power under a strange state. He gradually grasped it and understood it…

Not long after, he had already completely grasped the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power and had even reached the Perfection realm.

"I've grasped another one."

Qi Ming's mood was even better.

He cultivated via AFK Farming every day.

His strength increased every day.

Although it was boring, he was happy.

Qi Ming had also specially learned the skills of a spirit chef and became one. He had learned many spirit food cooking methods and even boldly innovated according to his memories on Earth.

He was already at the Nascent Soul realm and had long abstained from eating. He did not need to eat at all, but he did not want to give up his hobby of tasting delicacies.

The ingredients in the cultivation world were all filled with spirit qi and had boundless taste. The delicacies cooked using the corresponding cooking method were truly addictive.

Therefore, Qi Ming was still a foodie at heart.

Time passed.

Unknowingly, ten years later, on this day.

Ding!

"The Three Pure Dao Scripture has been cultivated for ten years under the enhancement of a million times. Congratulations, host. You have comprehended a deeper Great Dao True Intent and the profundity of the Dao. You have grasped the Jade Pure, Supreme Pure, and Grand Pure True Intents. The Great Dao True Marks have been engraved on the Nascent Soul and your cultivation has broken through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm."

A notification appeared.

"My cultivation level has broken through." Qi Ming said.

Qi Ming entered a state. The Three Pure Dao Scripture circulated and Dharmic powers surged. Vast spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged into Qi Ming's body and refined into Nascent Soul Dharmic powers.

Invisible Great Dao True Marks appeared on the Three Pure Nascent Soul.

His cultivation level increased.

His strength naturally increased greatly.

At the early-stage Nascent Soul realm, the Dharmic powers in his dantian were only a lake. After breaking through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, the Dharmic powers lake expanded into a Dharmic powers river that surged endlessly with waves.

Outside the main courtyard.

"Young Master's cultivation level has broken through."

Shangguan Wenge was outside the Heaven Secrets Manor, "In ten years, your cultivation level rose from the early-stage Nascent Soul realm to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. This way, the speed of your cultivation increase is not too fast, but it's not slow either."

"Congratulations, Young Master."

In the courtyard, the Manor Spirit Su Qimen bowed.

Ding!

"Rare spirit pet: Hornless Black Dragon has cultivated for ten years under the enhancement of a million times. Its cultivation level has increased continuously and it has grasped several divine powers. Its cultivation level has increased from the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm to the late-stage Soul Formation realm."

A notification appeared.

Black Flame's cultivation level increased greatly.

It was not only the Hornless Black Dragon, Black Flame.

There were also the already advanced Dark Demon Bat and the Ice Demoness. Actually, they had already reached the complete stage a long time ago and their cultivation level had increased to the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm.

Of the four spirit pets, only Huo Changqing was still at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Ding!

"The Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques has been cultivated for ten years under the enhancement of a million times. Congratulations, host. You have comprehended the deeper secrets of the Heavenly Constellation Divine Power and reached the Small Success stage from the entry level. The power of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques has become even stronger."

A notification appeared.

The next moment, Qi Ming's consciousness entered a profound state. In this state, he constantly comprehended the obscure Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, comprehending the changes in the divine power and comprehending its profundity.

Finally, after comprehending for a very long time.

He had a breakthrough.

He had reached the Small Success stage.

This way, the power of the mystic techniques and divine powers that Qi Ming grasped had all increased by more than a level.

His strength increased greatly.

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation level has already broken through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. The reward for clearing the early-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon, the periphery of the Emperor's Forbidden Tomb, has been greatly reduced. You can use 10 million medium-grade spirit stones to open the new game dungeon."

A notification appeared.

"I'll charge 10 million medium-grade spirit stones to activate the new game dungeon." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"You can enter the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon: Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension."

A notification appeared.

"Enter." Qi Ming said.

The scene of the game appeared. It was very real as if he was there, and Qi Ming felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this game scene.

So…

This was Shu Mountain.

They could see the Shu Mountain Ancient Path, the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda, and even the Shu Mountain Sect Master who had appeared in the previous game dungeons.

In this game dungeon, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into was the 'Savior' swordsman youth who had previously cleared the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda.

"Young man! You saved the world."

The Shu Mountain Sect Master walked over and cupped his hands in greeting to Qi Ming. His tone was very respectful as he said, "You ignored the danger and entered danger. You eliminated too many demons in the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda and suppressed the demonic qi of the Demon Subduing Pagoda."

"You saved the people of the world."

"Honorable Savior."

"The Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace has been opened because of you. You will have a chance to enter the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace through the Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension Stage. Go, respected savior."

Just as the Shu Mountain Sect Master finished speaking.

Qi Ming raised his head.

In the sky, a majestic immortal palace appeared. There were nine Heavenly Swords standing around the immortal palace, like an extremely terrifying sword formation.

A cloud-like staircase spread out from the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace.

It landed on the top of Shu Mountain's Demon Subduing Pagoda.

"Go." The Shu Mountain Sect Master continued.

"Okay."

Swish!

The game character that Qi Ming had transformed into jumped up and crossed the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda. He ascended the Immortal Ascension Stage and stood on the first step.

There were a total of 108 steps.

Next, Qi Ming needed to walk 108 steps and reach the top of this Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension Stage. However, he would encounter various illusions and attacks during this period.

As long as they all passed, they would pass this game dungeon.

The game character that Qi Ming had transformed into had already begun to level up.

The scene changed as the illusion had already appeared.

Qi Ming faced a sea of zombies.

"Myriad Sword Annihilation."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Qi Ming waved his right hand and slashed out with his sword. It transformed into more than ten thousand sword qi that was like a river of sword qi that destroyed the entire zombie tide…

Swish!

Qi Ming closed the game screen.

In the blink of an eye, the next day.

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming the 'Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension' game dungeon for a day and cleared it once. You have received: Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Sword Dao Scripture, 10 million high-grade spirit stones."

A notification appeared.

Item: Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Sword Dao Scripture.

Introduction: An inheritance crystal produced by the game dungeon 'Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension'. It is suitable for spirit pets who cultivate the Yin-Yang Sword Dao. It can increase the growth and potential of spirit pets.

"Not bad."

Qi Ming's eyes lit up, "This Inheritance Crystal is very suitable for Huo Changqing."

Chapter 147: Breakthrough Again, Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique

"Come out." Qi Ming said as he waved his right hand.

Swish!

A white light flashed in front of him.

"Master."

Huo Changqing had already come out of the second spirit pet slot. He bowed to Qi Ming. His appearance was still half black and half white. His skin, hair, clothes… his entire body was like this.

In the center, it was as if there was an extremely obvious dividing line.

Qi Ming waved his right hand again and took out the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Sword Dao Scripture from his inventory. It was a crystal jade slip with a Taiji pattern in the center.

"This is the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Sword Dao Scripture. It can help you advance and increase your growth potential. Put it away and fuse with it as soon as possible."

Swish!

Qi Ming threw the inheritance crystal to Huo Changqing.

"Thank you, Master."

Huo Changqing's expression was a little excited, but he controlled it very well. He did not show it particularly clearly and caught the inheritance crystal with both hands.

The Inheritance Crystal shone like a stream of black and white light that fused into the center of Huo Changqing's brows. The Taiji pattern appeared and enveloped Huo Changqing's entire body.

Qi Ming put Huo Changqing into the second spirit pet slot.

"I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Elite Spirit Pet: Shu Mountain's Yin-Yang Sword Saint has grown under the enhancement of a million times. He is fusing with the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Sword Dao Scripture…"

A notification appeared.

"Not bad."

Qi Ming received a notification.

In the blink of an eye, a day later.

Ding!

"The elite spirit pet: Shu Mountain's Yin-Yang Sword Saint has grown for a day under the enhancement of a million times. He has already perfectly fused with the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Sword Dao Scripture, allowing him to take another step forward. He has grasped the Taiji Sword Dao on the original foundation and has become an elite spirit pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint. He has grasped the power of the Taiji Sword Dao, Dawn, Dusk, and the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao. He can at most reach the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

A notification appeared.

"Not bad." Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Swish!

Huo Changqing came out of the spirit pet slot.

Huo Changqing's change was not small. His body was no longer half black and half white. Instead, he had returned to normal. Moreover, he was wearing a Taiji Daoist robe.

His aura was sharp.

He looked like an extremely powerful swordsman.

"Master."

Huo Changqing cupped his hands and bowed.

Qi Ming said, "Not bad."

"Continue growing in your spirit pet slot." Qi Ming continued.

"Yes." Huo Changqing nodded.

Swish!

There was a flash.

Huo Changqing returned to the second spirit pet slot.

In the blink of an eye, a few months later.

Ding!

"Elite Spirit Pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint has grown continuously under the enhancement of a million times. His cultivation level has increased continuously. He has already grown to his current limit and his cultivation level has reached the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming closed the notification and pondered, "This way, other than Black Flame, the remaining three spirit pets have already broken through to the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm and reached the limit of their current growth."

"If they want to continue improving, they need higher bloodline crystals and legacy crystals."

Time passed.

Unknowingly, another 20 years passed.

Nothing major happened in the past 20 years.

On this day, at noon.

Ding!

"The Three Pure Dao Scripture has been cultivated for twenty years under the enhancement of a million times. Congratulations, host. You have comprehended a deeper Great Dao True Intent and the profundity of the Great Dao. You have comprehended the Three Pure Dao Scripture a step further and truly understood the Three Pure True Intent of the Jade Pure, Supreme Pure, and Grand Pure. The Great Dao True Marks are engraved in the Three Pure Nascent Soul. Your cultivation level has broken through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm."

A notification appeared.

Boom!

The next moment, Qi Ming's entire body shook. Vast Great Dao true intent surged over and he fell into a wonderful state of epiphany. It was even more exaggerated than epiphany.

Qi Ming was constantly comprehending the profound mysteries of the Three Pure Dao Scripture. All the mysteries of the Three Pure Dao Scripture had already been comprehended by Qi Ming.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

At this moment, the surrounding vast heaven and earth spiritual qi surged over and poured into Qi Ming's body. Qi Ming refined the heaven and earth spiritual qi and transformed it into his Nascent Soul Dharmic powers.

Not long after, in his dantian.

The Dharmic powers river strengthened into a sea of Dharmic powers.

Qi Ming's cultivation level had broken through.

He had reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Then, Qi Ming began to consolidate his cultivation.

Ding!

"Rare spirit pet: Hornless Black Dragon has cultivated for twenty years under the enhancement of a million times. Its cultivation level has increased continuously and it has grasped several divine power spells. Its cultivation level has increased from the late-stage Soul Formation realm to the late-stage Dao Integration realm."

At this moment, while Qi Ming was consolidating his cultivation, a notification appeared.

Black Flame's cultivation level reached the limit of his growth again. In 30 years, with the help of the AFK Farming Software, Black Flame rose from the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm to the late-stage Dao Integration realm.

His strength increased greatly.

Ding!

"Rare spirit pet: Hornless Black Dragon has already reached the limit of its current growth. If it wants to continue improving, it needs to cross the Dragon Transformation Tribulation again. The time when the last Dragon Transformation Tribulation will appear is uncertain. It needs the corresponding opportunity and fate, or directly absorb a Bloodline Crystal to break the limit of its growth, but it will completely lose the potential to transform into a dragon."

Then, another notification appeared.

"Oh."

Qi Ming had already consolidated his cultivation at this moment. He looked at the content and information, "The final Dragon Transformation Tribulation is actually not something that can be crossed just because you want to. It still needs opportunities and fate."

"What opportunities and fate are required?" Qi Ming thought.

Ding!

"The Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques has been cultivated for twenty years under the enhancement of a million times. Congratulations, host. You have comprehended the deeper mysteries of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques and have already reached the limit of the Small Success realm. You have also reached the limit of your current realm. If you want to continue improving, you need to increase your cultivation."

…

Ding!

"The Book of Changes Scripture has…"

…

Many notifications appeared one after another.

Unknowingly, Qi Ming had already been in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain for 40 years.

When he just stepped into the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, Qi Ming was only at the late-stage Core Formation realm. Now, he had already reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. His cultivation level had crossed a major realm. His divine powers, spells, treasures, and spirit pets had all been completely improved.

Qi Ming's strength was no longer the same as before.

In fact…

With his full strength, Qi Ming did not know what level his strength could reach.

For twenty years, he had obtained many things in the game dungeon. He had also cultivated various spells and basically involved some. He was an omnipotent existence.

"Three Pure Dao Scripture and the Book of Changes Scripture."

After Qi Ming's cultivation level increased, he deeply felt the profundity and grandeur of the Great Dao as well as the various changes in his body. He slowly adapted to his stronger strength.

He had indeed comprehended the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

"Among these two cultivation methods, the Book of Changes Scripture is actually very profound. In the Mystic World, it's definitely a peak-level inheritance cultivation method."

Qi Ming continued, "However, the Three Pure Dao Scripture has far surpassed the ceiling of the Mystic World and reached an even more unbelievable level. It's just like the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture back then."

"In the Mystic World, the cultivation methods and inheritances of the Mystic World are all immortal cultivators, while the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture and the Three Pure Dao Scripture are Dao cultivators. There's a huge difference between the two."

At the Nascent Soul realm, as mentioned previously, the Nascent Soul grade was divided into:

False Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul, and Dao Nascent Soul.

The Book of Changes Scripture condensed a Dao Nascent Soul. Moreover, it was first-rate among the Dao Nascent Souls.

However…

Above the Dao Nascent Soul realm, there was also the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul and the Great Dao Nascent Soul.

Without a doubt, the Three Pure Nascent Soul condensed by the Three Pure Dao Scripture was the Great Dao Nascent Soul.

Qi Ming said, "These three realms, Nascent Soul, Leaving Aperture, and Soul Formation, are all cultivating the Nascent Soul and condensing the Essence Soul. The Three Pure Dao Scripture and the Book of Changes Scripture can be cultivated until the Soul Formation realm."

"The Dao Integration realm above the Soul Formation realm is another level."

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation level has already reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. The gains from the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon, the Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension, will be greatly reduced. You can use a million high-grade spirit stones to open the new game dungeon."

A notification appeared.

"I'll charge a million high-grade spirit stones to activate the new game dungeon." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"You can enter the late-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon: Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace."

A notification appeared.

"Enter." Qi Ming said.

The corresponding game scene appeared in front of Qi Ming. It was very clear, as if the game dungeon was a real world and Qi Ming had really entered it.

Then, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into had already passed the Shu Mountain Immortal Ascension Stage and arrived at the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace. In this place, Qi Ming would encounter all the Shu Mountain Sword Immortals that had existed since the establishment of Shu Mountain.

Of course, these Shu Mountain sword immortals had already ascended to the higher realm and were no longer in the human world. However, they had left behind their afterimages in the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace. Qi Ming needed to fight these afterimages and win.

After defeating them, Qi Ming could clear this game dungeon.

In the blink of an eye.

The battle began.

Qi Ming's first opponent was the first sword immortal of Shu Mountain. This was a handsome young man. He did not have a sword on him, but his entire body was covered in swords.

He had already reached the realm of winning without a sword.

Clang!

A sword chime sounded.

The battle erupted.

Qi Ming's sword slashed down, and green lotuses appeared. The Green Lotus Sword Dao blossomed and displayed his strength. In three moves, he defeated the first sword immortal of Shu Mountain….

Not long after, the second Shu Mountain Sword Immortal appeared.

This was a beautiful swordsman woman with a mole at the corner of her eye.

"Green Lotus Dao."

Clang!

Another sword cry sounded.

Qi Ming took the initiative to attack again and directly attacked…

Swish!

Qi Ming closed the game scene and did not continue watching.

The night passed.

The next day, at noon.

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming in the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace game dungeon for a day and cleared it once. You have received: one Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique and a million top-grade spirit stones."

A notification appeared.

"Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, "This should be a Sword Dao spell technique? Now that I've cleared a game dungeon, I can directly obtain a million top-grade spirit stones."

"That's exaggerated."

"I'm getting more and more spirit stones than I can spend."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 148: Han Yun of the Divine Smelting lineage

A top-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred high-grade spirit stones, a high-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and a medium-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It was a hundredfold exchange.

Therefore, a million top-grade spirit stones were equivalent to a trillion low-grade spirit stones.

Item: Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique.

Introduction: The power of the nine heavens transform into divine lightning. Brilliant heavenly might is guided by the sword. This is a Lesser Divine Power that fuses the Sword Dao and the Lightning Dao.

"This is a Lesser Divine Power."

Qi Ming's eyes lit up slightly as he pondered and said, "Moreover, this name and the chant in the introduction are a little familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere."

Swish!

Qi Ming willed.

He took out the Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique. It was a jade slip circulating with sword light and lightning. Qi Ming injected Dharmic powers and the jade slip was activated.

Clang!

It was like a thunderous sword light.

The divine power method contained in the jade slip directly fused into Qi Ming's mind.

He quickly memorized it.

"I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones."

Qi Ming said, "Cultivate the Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique."

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique under the enhancement of a million times…"

A notification appeared.

In the blink of an eye, two days later.

Something major happened in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

The legacy disciple of the Divine Smelting lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, Han Yun, came out of seclusion.

He had been in seclusion for a full hundred years this time. He wanted to break through from the late-stage Soul Formation realm to the Dao Integration realm, but unfortunately, he did not succeed.

In other words, he had failed in his seclusion.

After he came out of seclusion, he began to challenge the legacy disciples of the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain one after another. As long as they had reached the late-stage Soul Formation realm, they would receive Han Yun's challenge.

"Senior Brother Qi."

On this day, Su Qingyin came to visit.

"Junior Sister Qingyin."

Qi Ming looked at Su Qingyin, who had completely grown up. It had been a long time since they last met, and she had changed quite a bit. She was dressed in palace clothes and had a beautiful aura. Under her white dress, a straight and round calf was revealed, "Why do you have the time to come to me?"

"Of course it's because I miss Senior Brother, so I came to see you."

Su Qingyin's change was not only her appearance and figure, but her personality was no longer as restrained as before. Instead, she became even more natural and unrestrained. She even dared to tease Qi Ming, "Senior Brother, don't you welcome me?"

"Speak."

Qi Ming did not give her a chance.

Su Qingyin snorted softly, "How boring. Senior Brother, you're too boring. Be careful or you won't be able to find a Dao partner in your lifetime."

"If you're really fine, don't disturb me. Go back and cultivate well." Qi Ming said.

Su Qingyin's beautiful eyes rolled at Qi Ming, "The legacy disciple of the Divine Smelting lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, Han Yun, has come out of seclusion. Do you know?"

"I know." Qi Ming said, "The news is widespread. I've also heard about it."

"Han Yun has already challenged many legacy disciples who have reached the late-stage Soul Formation realm."

Su Qingyin continued, "He won them all."

"Then?" Qi Ming asked.

"Therefore, you have to be careful."

Su Qingyin continued, "You're Patriarch Heaven Secrets' only personal disciple. Coupled with your past achievements, you'll definitely attract Han Yun's attention. At that time, I think he'll definitely challenge you."

"Han Yun's strength is extremely strong. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to defeat so many late-stage Soul Formation realm legacy disciples."

"Thank you for your reminder, Junior Sister."

Qi Ming said, "I'll be careful."

"Oh right, Senior Brother."

Su Qingyin continued, "I plan to go to the Eastern Region this time. I heard that another ancient grotto-heaven has appeared in the Eastern Region. I'm prepared to take a look. Are you interested in going with me? You can also avoid Han Yun."

"No." Qi Ming shook his head, "I'm not interested in these."

"Senior Brother, you're too much like a shut-in."

Su Qingyin was speechless.

"Perhaps." Qi Ming shrugged.

Su Qingyin stood up. "It's fine if you don't go. I'll find the other senior brothers. You have to pay attention to that Han Yun. He's really very strong. Be careful or you'll lose very badly."

"How can I lose? You're hallucinating." Qi Ming said.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

On this day.

Swish!

A figure tore through the sky and arrived from afar, and then he descended outside the Heaven Secrets Manor. It was a young man with long green clothes, flowing hair, a handsome appearance, a slender figure, and a pair of sharp brows.

He was Han Yun.

"Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain's legacy disciple, Han Yun."

Han Yun introduced himself, "I'm here to visit."

In the surroundings, legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain appeared. They did not approach but looked from afar and discussed with each other.

"As expected, I knew that Senior Brother Han Yun would definitely come back to challenge Legacy Disciple Qi."

"Of course!"

"We all know Legacy Disciple Qi's past achievements. He can be said to be a legend of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. After Senior Brother Han Yun came out of seclusion, he challenged the various legacy disciples of the twelve lineages in succession. He naturally would not fall behind Legacy Disciple Qi."

"Senior Brother Han Yun is too strong. I even suspect that he has already broken through, but clearly not. Senior Brother Han Yun is only at the late-stage Soul Formation realm now."

"Senior Brother Han Yun challenged the legacy disciples of the twelve factions and won all the battles!"

"Exactly."

Everyone was talking.

"What is it?"

Qi Ming naturally heard Han Yun's voice outside the Heaven Secrets Manor. He looked over and saw Han Yun's figure clearly. His aura was extremely strong, like a peerless sword that had been unsheathed, as if it wanted to pierce through the sky.

Very strong!

He was indeed very strong.

"It's not a big deal."

Han Yun said bluntly, "I mainly want to find Legacy Disciple Qi to spar and discuss the Dao of cultivation. If possible, I hope to discuss the Dao during the spar."

Su Qimen said, "This person has already reached the limit of the Soul Formation realm. He's condensing his Dao and wants to use you as a stepping stone."

"Young Master, your cultivation level is only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm now, but the other party is already at the limit of the Soul Formation realm. Why don't we bring him into the Heaven Secrets Manor and use it to suppress him."

"No need." Qi Ming waved his hand, "This Han Yun came at the right time. My cultivation level has broken through, and my spells and divine powers have increased greatly. I just happen to need an expert to test my current strength."

"This Han Yun is very suitable."

"This…"

Su Qimen was a little worried.

Qi Ming's cultivation level was much lower than Han Yun's.

Although Su Qimen had also heard of Qi Ming's battle results, he had only heard of it and had not seen it with his own eyes. He did not dare to completely believe it.

Even if it was true, this Han Yun was not easy to deal with either.

"Okay." Qi Ming stood up.

Swish!

His figure flashed.

It was as if the ground had shrunk to an inch.

He moved to the outside of the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"He's out, Legacy Disciple Qi is out."

"Is he going to accept the challenge?"

"Legacy Disciple Qi is actually very strong. It's reasonable for him to accept the challenge."

"However, there is a huge difference in cultivation realm between Legacy Disciple Qi and Han Yun. In the following battle, even if Han Yun wins, it will be an unfair victory. If he loses, Han Yun will lose all his face. The momentum and reputation he has created during this period will benefit Legacy Disciple Qi."

"That's right."

Everyone was still discussing.

Han Yun looked at the young man standing in front of him. He was peerlessly gorgeous, had a handsome appearance, a slender figure, and an extraordinary bearing. He was like an immortal that had descended from the heavens, and it caused others to feel ashamed and not dare to compare with him.

Qi Ming stood at the entrance of the Heaven Secrets Manor. He was less than ten meters away from Han Yun. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Senior Brother Han Yun, do you want to spar with me? Sure, I agree to your request."

Han Yun's eyes flashed.

Han Yun's reputation in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was really not small, especially in this half a month. He had challenged all the way and won all the battles. His reputation and aura had already reached the peak.

In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, Han Yun was a veteran legacy disciple. Not to mention that his cultivation level had already reached the late-stage Soul Formation realm, he had also grasped many spells and divine powers.

He was extremely powerful.

It was no small matter.

They were definitely not enemies that Qi Ming had encountered in the past.

Gongyang Zhige would probably not be able to withstand three moves from Han Yun before being defeated.

Han Yun had stayed at the late-stage Soul Formation realm for a very long time. He had been in seclusion for a long time but had not broken through. Clearly, he had reached the cultivation bottleneck.

If he wanted to break through the bottleneck, it was not something simple bitter cultivation could do.

It required opportunities and good fortune.

After exiting seclusion this time, Han Yun wanted to seek the opportunity to break through, so he challenged the legacy disciples of the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain one after another to seek a breakthrough in battle.

In each battle, he constantly perfected and tempered his body. He removed the dregs from his body and only left the most pure essence.

Now, he had already reached his peak state.

Somehow, Han Yun had a feeling that after so many battles, he had already grasped this opportunity. He vaguely felt that as long as he defeated Qi Ming, he could break through.

This feeling was extremely absurd, but it was also very real. This was fate and fortune, it was truly impossible to fully understand.

Actually…

In another perspective, Han Yun challenged the legacy disciples of the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. Every time he won, he would defeat the enemy and inexplicably take away a wisp of their providence.

After a complete victory, Han Yun's luck and aura had already reached the peak.

He was only missing an opportunity.

This opportunity should be on Qi Ming.

As long as he could defeat Qi Ming, his providence would resonate with his aura and the Dao of Heaven and Earth would naturally fuse with him. There was a high chance of him stepping into the Dao Integration realm.

"Sorry." Han Yun cupped his hands.

"Rise."

Rumble!!!

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the four-sided arena appeared again. It swelled up with the wind and under the gazes of everyone, it became a huge arena that was a thousand meters tall.

"Senior Brother Han Yun, you don't have to be so polite."

Swish!

Qi Ming jumped onto the four-sided arena, "My cultivation level has just broken through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm recently. The divine powers and spells I've grasped have increased quite a bit. I happen to lack an opponent who's strong enough to test my current strength."

"Senior Brother Han Yun is very suitable."

"We're just taking what we need."

"Get on the stage." Qi Ming shouted.

After hearing Qi Ming's words, Han Yun's expression could not help but freeze for a moment, and his expression turned slightly cold.

He did not expect Qi Ming to be so insolent and actually treat him as an opponent to train.

"Okay!" Han Yun shouted softly and followed closely. He jumped onto the four-sided arena and stood not far from Qi Ming. The two sides were about a hundred meters apart.

Han Yun said, "Since your cultivation level is at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, how about this? I'll suppress my cultivation to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and fight you? I won't take advantage of you."

"Suppress your cultivation?" Qi Ming smiled. "There's no need for that."

"Senior Brother Han Yun actually wants to suppress his cultivation and spar with Legacy Disciple Qi?"

"This…"

"If I'm not wrong, Legacy Disciple Qi used 30 years to advance from the early-stage Nascent Soul realm to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm."

"This improvement speed is actually not slow."

"But it's not too fast."

"That's right."

"However, in terms of cultivation level, compared to Senior Brother Han Yun, there's still a major realm difference."

"I didn't expect Legacy Disciple Qi to actually say that he wanted Senior Brother Han Yun to test his strength. As expected of Legacy Disciple Qi. Back then, Legacy Disciple Qi defeated Senior Brother Gongyang, who was at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm."

"…"

In the surroundings, more and more legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain had already come to watch the battle. It was very lively. Moreover, several Grand Elders had arrived in the sky.

Daoist Purple Firmament was the Grand Elder of the Divine Smelting lineage, the Grand Elder of the Green Cloud lineage, Patriarch Wei He, and Patriarch Wuyan were also here.

There were a total of three.

"It's necessary."

With a thought, Han Yun circulated his cultivation technique and suppressed his cultivation. He fell from the late-stage Soul Formation realm to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and the strength of his aura weakened greatly.

"Take this."

Han Yun attacked. He waved his right hand and summoned a top-grade Soul Formation realm Dharma treasure. It was a slender divine spear. The spear was purple-gold in color and had profound patterns.

"Dragon Spear!"

Roar!

Han Yun stabbed out with his spear. He combined the power of his Essence Soul with his Dharmic powers and poured it into this spear. It transformed into a purple-gold dragon head that attacked Qi Ming.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Qi Ming raised his hand and punched. The power of the Battle Sacred Body erupted. Golden light flashed and a powerful Battle Will shattered the spear light that had transformed into the purple-gold dragon head with a punch.

"Senior Brother Han Yun."

Qi Ming slowly stopped and said calmly, "I think you should not suppress your cultivation. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to withstand a single move from me."

"You…"

Han Yun took a deep breath. His expression was solemn and extremely shocked.

In the punch just now, he had personally experienced Qi Ming's strength. That punch shook the surrounding space.

Very strong!

Very strong!!!

Qi Ming was clearly only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, but the strength he displayed completely surpassed the legacy disciples of the twelve factions that Han Yun had fought previously.

"Okay."

Han Yun circulated his cultivation technique. He no longer suppressed his cultivation level. His aura rose continuously, and his aura quickly rose, directly reaching the peak state.

"Legacy Disciple Qi."

Han Yun took a deep breath. Vast Soul Formation Dharmic powers surged around his body, and his voice was like a surging river and ocean as he said, "You're right. If I suppress my cultivation, I really won't be your match. Moreover, it goes against the original intention of this spar. In that case, I can only fight with my full strength."

"Okay." Qi Ming said.

"Green Lotus Dao."

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the power of the twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus and the Green Lotus Sword Dao was released. He used a divine power spell to pressure Han Yun.

"My cultivation level!"

Han Yun was shocked. "It's actually suppressed. Is this the divine power spell technique of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Dao? It can forcefully suppress an opponent by a small realm. No wonder it can be said to be invincible at the same realm."

"However!" Han Yun shouted loudly, "I'm at the late-stage Soul Formation realm, and you're only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. The difference in realm is too great, causing the power of your divine power spell to be insufficient to suppress me."

"Divine Mountain Protection."

Boom!

Han Yun also used his Foundation Establishment realm divine power spell technique. His entire body lit up with a purple-gold light, forming a barrier of light that was like a mountain peak that blocked Qi Ming's Green Lotus Dao.

"Peerless Spiritual Force."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Han Yun waved his right hand and used a spell, "Rain Light Blade."

In an instant, in midair.

A large number of purple-gold light spots appeared. They poured down like a storm and enveloped Qi Ming. Every purple-gold light spot was like a raindrop, and every raindrop transformed into various different light blades.

"Myriad Forms Storm."

Qi Ming waved his hand, and his Dharmic powers surged. Immediately, a huge Dharmic powers storm swept out. It was like a terrifying tornado that swept through everything in the surroundings.

Bang bang bang!!!

Continuous explosions sounded.

The two sides fought equally.

The exchange just now was only a test.

"Again."

Han Yun roared. With a thought, he took out his intrinsic Dharma treasure this time. It was a three-legged purple-gold cauldron that transformed into various scenes and various demon beast Dharma Idols.

"Attack!"

Han Yun shouted as the demon beast Dharma Idols pounced at Qi Ming from all directions.

"Demon Beast Dharma Idols."

Qi Ming glanced at it, "Using the Soul Refinement Dharmic powers to transform into various demon beast Dharma Idols and reach a profound realm. It's like a terrifying demon beast army."

"You're indeed quite talented."

"Battle Sacred Technique."

Boom!

Qi Ming's entire body shook. The blood in his body flowed, and golden light flashed. His Battle Will surged. With a long roar, his figure rushed forward like golden light.

"Break!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qi Ming charged into the demon beast Dharma Idol group and erupted with extremely terrifying combat strength. His body was peerless and could be said to be heaven-defying. He could shatter a demon beast Dharma Idol with a punch.

His combat strength was extremely terrifying.

"Gasp…"

Han Yun could not help but gasp, "What a terrifying body."

"Purple Golden Divine Lightning!"

Crack!

Han Yun formed hand seals with his left hand and formed hand seals. Immediately, purple-gold lightning struck Qi Ming like a python or flood dragon.

"Five Lightning Control."

Crack!

Qi Ming's right hand struck forward, and the power of five lightning erupted, turning into a terrifying palm heavenly lightning. It was like five lightning bolts striking the sky and defeating Han Yun's Purple Golden Divine Lightning.

Not only that, Han Yun's Purple Golden Divine Lightning was actually unable to completely block Qi Ming's Five-Blow-Thunderstruck. He was forced back a few steps by the aftershock of the Five-Blow-Thunderstruck and his body felt numb.

"This…"

Han Yun was shocked.

"So powerful."

"Senior Brother Han Yuan is indeed powerful. As expected of the late-stage Soul Formation realm. He's only a step away from the Dao Integration realm. Just now, it was only an initial exchange and probing, but he already used such a powerful divine power spell technique."

"Legacy Disciple Qi's strength is not weak either. He can actually block Senior Brother Han Yun's attack. Moreover, I only discovered now that the divine powers and spells used by Legacy Disciple Qi have all reached the Perfection realm."

"Legacy Disciple Qi's Nascent Soul Dharmic powers are extremely condensed. The strength of his Dharmic powers is completely unlike the Dharmic powers of the Nascent Soul realm. No wonder he has the power to cross realms to fight."

"I also discovered that every move and move of Legacy Disciple Qi contained a mysterious power. It was this mysterious power that raised the power of his spells and divine powers by several levels."

The surrounding spectators were all legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. Their horizons were extremely high and their gazes were vicious. In the battle between Qi Ming and Han Yun, they observed many details and situations.

The mysterious power contained in every move and technique of Qi Ming was the Dao runes and true intent of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. They were invisible and formless, but they really existed and could increase Qi Ming's combat strength.

This was also one of the main reasons why Qi Ming's strength was so powerful and was sufficient to cross realms to fight.

It even made up for the difference in power between Dharma treasures.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

It was simple.

Qi Ming and Han Yun's battle continued. During the battle between the two sides, Qi Ming completely displayed the power of the late-stage Blood Transfusion Battle Sacred Body.

Coupled with the power of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, it defeated all of Han Yun's spells and divine powers.

"Qi Ming's body tempering attainment is really unbelievable. He actually reached this level. I keep feeling that something is amiss. Does he have a special physique?"

"If he only relied on body tempering cultivation methods and methods, it's impossible to reach such a powerful level."

"However, Qi Ming used divine power spells to complement his powerful physical strength."

Above the stage, Daoist Purple Firmament and the others chatted.

"Sword, come."

Clang!

Qi Ming clenched his right hand, and a sword light tore through the air. It was Qi Ming's intrinsic Dharma treasure, the World Piercing Sword. He held the hilt and said, "It's about time."

"Let's end it with this sword." Qi Ming said.

Qi Ming's cultivation level had reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. He had consumed a lot of materials and also refined the three Intrinsic Dharma treasures, the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo, the World Piercing Sword, and the Sword Mountain to the level of top-grade Nascent Soul Dharma treasures.

In addition, the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book that Qi Ming had refined had also been upgraded from a top-grade Core Formation realm treasure to a top-grade Nascent Soul realm treasure.

Its power had increased by several levels.

Han Yun's treasures were all at the top-grade Soul Formation realm.

In terms of Dharma treasures, Qi Ming could not compare to Han Yun.

"Okay."

Han Yun took a deep breath and looked at Qi Ming. He was actually already very shocked. In the battle just now, he had already used most of his methods, but he did not have any advantage over Qi Ming.

Most importantly, Qi Ming's expression was calm. Clearly, he was at ease and did not unleash his true strength completely. This was the most terrifying thing.

"Divine Smelting Dharma Idol."

Boom!

Han Yun circulated the Soul Formation Dharmic powers in his entire body and used the strongest divine power spell technique he had. He erupted with the greatest strength.

A dazzling light surged violently like an endless wave. Purple-gold light blossomed like a small sun.

"Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form."

Roar!

Han Yun roared again. His spells and divine powers were evolving, and his Dharmic powers surged. His divine powers were condensing, forming an incomparably huge Dharma Idol.

This Dharma Idol was a thousand meters tall, like an indomitable giant. It was completely purple-gold in color. While it was dazzling, it was also extremely condensed.

It had a human-sized body and four limbs, but it had two heads. One was like a dragon's head, and the other was like a tiger's head.

It was sinister and huge.

"Legacy Disciple Qi."

Han Yun shouted, "This is the strongest technique I know. It's called the Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form. If you can block it, I'll admit defeat, and you win."

"Okay.." Qi Ming said, "As you wish."

Chapter 150: Heaven Secrets Sword

Qi Ming's gaze looked at the top of the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, "Master, today, I will use your divine power to display the true power of the Heaven Secrets lineage."

"This way… it can also be considered as restoring the reputation of the declined Heaven Secrets lineage."

"Lesser Divine Power."

With a thought, Qi Ming circulated his Dharmic powers. He formed a seal with his left hand and waved it upwards. In an instant, he said, "Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power, Mystic Gate Divination Power, Five Elements Cycle Divine Power."

He used all three Lesser Divine Power techniques.

First, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power.

When this technique was used, Dharmic powers surged, and the seal was like a light. In the air in front of him, a huge array formation formed by the Eight Trigrams and Taiji patterns.

In the center were the Yin-Yang fish, and around it was the Eight Trigrams.

It condensed into an array formation.

This way, it could gather the power of the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang in the world.

Then, the Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power.

Similarly, when this technique was used, Dharmic powers surged as the seal was like a light. Above the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Formation, a mysterious array formation appeared.

If the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang corresponded to the mountains and rivers, the Mystic Gate Divination Formation corresponded to the sun, moon, and stars.

Somehow, it gathered the power of heaven and Earth.

Finally, the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power.

When this technique was used, it corresponded to the five elements within heaven and earth, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. It evolved into the Five Elements Cycle Diagram and appeared above the Mystic Gate Divination Technique.

The three array formations appeared.

It was dazzling.

All kinds of energy and power surged.

"The Dao of the Book of Changes can conquer the world."

Qi Ming circulated the power of the Book of Changes Scripture and muttered the content, "The movement of heaven is full of power. Heaven above, Heaven below. Heaven represents what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm. The dragon lays hidden in the deep. It is not the time for active doing. The earth's condition is receptive devotion. Earth above, Earth below. Earth represents what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and having the firmness of a mare…"

"The Book of Changes divines the Heaven Secrets."

"Three formations into one, activate the Heaven Secrets Array."

"Activate!"

Boom!

Qi Ming shouted loudly. He held the sword in his right hand and pointed it upwards. The three array diagrams evolved from the three Lesser Divine Power Techniques in the sky quickly fused together.

Buzz!!!

A dazzling light shone.

It became the Heaven Secrets Array.

"This is Patriarch Heaven Secrets' Heaven Secrets Array."

Daoist Purple Firmament's eyes widened. He was very shocked, and his tone was even more shocked, "This… This… How is this possible? How is this possible?!"

"He actually used it."

"Gasp…"

"The Heaven Secrets Array is Patriarch Heaven Secrets' proud divine power. Qi Ming has only been a personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets for less than 30 years, but he can actually create the Heaven Secrets Array."

"Unbelievable!"

Patriarch Wei He and Patriarch Wuyan also exclaimed.

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the evolution of the heaven secrets."

Qi Ming mobilized the power of the Three Pure Nascent Soul again. The three Lesser Divine Power Techniques were indeed very powerful, but it was not enough to let Qi Ming have the combat strength to cross realms and resist the Soul Formation realm.

Qi Ming still needed to fuse the power of the Three Pure Dao Scripture.

"The escaped One of the Great Dao leaves room for victory."

Qi Ming continued, "The Heaven Secrets Sword slashes at vitality."

Qi Ming let out a long roar as the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth circulated. He seemed to have fused with heaven and earth. Unknowingly, he actually mobilized the power of heaven and earth for his own use.

At this moment, the array diagram of the Heaven Secrets Array kept spinning and finally turned into a dazzling light. It was like a stream of light that fused into the World Piercing Sword in Qi Ming's hand.

The Dao runes of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Great Dao and the power of Heaven and Earth completely fused into this sword.

"Slash!"

Qi Ming raised his head and looked straight at Han Yun. His right hand landed, and the World Piercing Sword in his hand had already slashed at Han Yun. The sword light of the Heaven Secrets blossomed, and it was like a fog spreading and chaotic.

In an instant, it directly transformed into a huge sword light that was a thousand meters long.

It was majestic.

"Dragon Tiger Slaughter!"

Boom!

Han Yun roared and erupted with his full strength. The power of the Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form was released. Tiger roars and dragon roars sounded as the power of the dragon and tiger erupted and charged over.

The two sides faced each other head-on and their strengths collided. The Heaven Secrets Sword slashed at the Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Dharma Idol, and the power of the tiger and dragon roared, causing countless explosions.

Rumble!!!

It shook violently.

Crack! Crack!

The next moment, Qi Ming's Heaven Secrets Sword contained the power of heaven and earth and even had the derivation of the heaven secrets. The moment it slashed down, it had already locked onto the weak point of the Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form.

After the two sides collided, most of the power of the Heaven Secrets Sword struck the weak point of the Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form, occupying an extremely great advantage.

The Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form began to collapse. In the center, a huge crack appeared and spread out. More and more cracks appeared.

"Oh no!"

Han Yun was shocked.

Finally, there was a loud sound.

The Purple Golden Dragon Tiger Form exploded, and the huge Dharma Idol dissipated, turning into specks of light that filled the sky. The power of the explosion struck Han Yun's body.

"Ah!!!"

Pew!!!

Han Yun screamed as he spat out blood. His body flew out of the four-sided arena and landed on the ground. His face was pale and his injuries were not light.

Qi Ming slowly sheathed his sword. The array formation disappeared, and the power of the heavens disappeared. The surrounding phenomenon and fluctuation gradually returned to calm. The World Piercing Sword was also put into his dantian.

"You've lost."

Qi Ming's gaze was calm as he looked indifferently at Han Yun who had descended the stage.

Qi Ming's move just now was used with ease.

"You…"

Han Yun looked at Qi Ming with a stiff expression. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he could not say it. In the end, he could only wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and lowered his head, "I… I lost…"

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

One could hear a pin drop.

The gazes of everyone present landed on Qi Ming, and they were deeply shocked. This outcome completely exceeded the expectations of most people.

Han Yun actually lost so completely.

"This… this…"

"Senior Brother Han Yun actually lost. Legacy Disciple Qi… won again…"

"Last time, it was Senior Brother Gongyang. This time, it was Senior Brother Han Yun. However, Senior Brother Han Yun's strength is much stronger than Senior Brother Gongyang's, but he still lost to Qi Ming."

"Senior Brother Han Yun came out of seclusion for a hundred years and experienced twelve battles in a row. He won every battle and defeated everyone. His aura has already accumulated to the peak, but even so, Senior Brother Han Yun still lost. He lost so completely…"

"Legacy Disciple Qi is too strong, he's too strong."

"As expected of Patriarch Heaven Secrets' personal disciple!"

"Shocking!"

"Too shocking."

"…"

In the surroundings, all the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain present exclaimed repeatedly. They could not help but exclaim, and their gazes were filled with reverence as they looked at Qi Ming.

Above, the three Grand Elders looked at the result of the battle and fell silent. They did not expect that the late-stage Soul Formation realm Han Yun would actually lose to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm Qi Ming.

This result really exceeded many people's expectations.

The difference in cultivation between the two was really huge.

In the hundred-year history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

Although many geniuses had appeared, this had never happened. He could actually cross such a huge cultivation difference to defeat his opponent.

It was like a miracle.

However…

This was the truth.

It had indeed happened before their eyes.

It shocked everyone.

Back then, Qi Ming winning against Gongyang Zhige was already shocking enough. Now, he defeated Han Yun of the Divine Smelting lineage. This matter was even more shocking.

Qi Ming's reputation in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect reached a peak.

It made many people feel reverence.

"This… this…"

Daoist Purple Firmament took a deep breath and recovered from his shock. His incomparably shocked mood gradually calmed down, "Han Yun has been in seclusion for a full hundred years. Because he encountered a bottleneck, he was unable to break through to the Dao Integration realm. However, after a hundred years of seclusion, his strength has also reached the limit of the Soul Formation realm. Therefore, he wants to challenge the legacy disciples of the various lineages and use this to seek a breakthrough."

"He… actually lost to Qi Ming!"

"I'm also very shocked."

Patriarch Wei He slowly said, "Qi Ming is too strong. His combat strength is too heaven-defying. It's completely not combat strength that a Nascent Soul realm cultivator can possess."

"Moreover…"

"If we only rely on Patriarch Heaven Secrets' Heaven Secrets Array, it's not enough to defeat the late-stage Soul Formation realm Han Yun. Qi Ming definitely used other powers."

"That's right."

Patriarch Wuyan nodded. He could also tell, "This power is very strong. Qi Ming even mobilized the power of heaven and earth when he slashed out that sword, as if his body was fused with heaven and earth. This is a method that only those at the Dao Integration realm possess, but Qi Ming did it at the Nascent Soul realm."

"To be honest…"

Finally, Patriarch Wuyan summarized, "Han Yun was not defeated without reason. It's not that he is not strong enough or that his aptitude is not outstanding enough."

"Qi Ming's strength is just too strong. His aptitude and talent are too monstrous. It's no longer something that can be inferred with common sense."

In the battle between Qi Ming and Han Yuan, he did not use his full strength. At most, he used a tenth of his strength, but he had already defeated Han Yun.

That's right.

It was just 10%.

No more than that.

Qi Ming still had many divine power methods that he had not used. If he used all of them, Qi Ming should be able to resist the Dao Integration realm.

Through this battle with Han Yun, Qi Ming also had a clearer understanding of his strength. In other words, Qi Ming had achieved his goal at the beginning.

This was enough.

Qi Ming waved his right hand and put away the four-sided arena.

"Senior Brother Han Yun, take care."

Then, Qi Ming clasped his hands behind his back and casually said before turning around and walking back to the Heaven Secrets Manor. The door closed, leaving behind a pale Han Yun.

Han Yun stood up and shouted at the Heaven Secrets Manor, "Although I lost this battle, I saw a chance to break through to the Dao Integration realm."

"Next time."

"My cultivation level has definitely broken through to the Dao Integration realm. I'll fight you again."

This time, Qi Ming did not reply to Han Yun.

Qi Ming's spirit pet, Black Flame, was already at the late-stage Dao Integration realm. It was extremely powerful. If another senior brother like Han Yun came, Qi Ming would definitely not accept the challenge.

There was no need anymore.

At that time, Qi Ming would let Black Flame accept the challenge and let them know the dangers of society.

Han Yun did not stay any longer and flew away. The surrounding legacy disciples naturally dispersed. However, when they left, they bowed and took their leave to show their respect for Qi Ming.

From this, it was obvious.

Qi Ming's status in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was already rising.

Although it was not shown completely, it was obvious from the actions of these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain that Qi Ming was now a true personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets.

In the past, Qi Ming's strength was insufficient. Coupled with the decline of the Heaven Secrets lineage, only Qi Ming was left. He was naturally looked down upon by the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

They even came to provoke him many times.

Now, Qi Ming had proven his strength through several battles. Although his cultivation level was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, his combat strength far exceeded the Nascent Soul realm. Even the late-stage Soul Formation realm was not his match.

Strength represented status.

The strong were respected.

This was the Mystic World.

This was the iron rule of the cultivation world.

Daoist Purple Firmament looked deeply at the Heaven Secrets Manor and then looked up at the top of the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. However, he quickly retracted his gaze, "Could it be that the Heaven Secrets lineage is about to rise again?"

"They're still far from it."

Patriarch Wuyan said, "It's not enough to rely on Qi Ming alone. Unless Patriarch Heaven Secrets completely recovers and prepares to rebuild the Heaven Secrets lineage, it's almost impossible for them to rise in a short period of time."

"That's right."

Patriarch Wei He also said, "You should know that any lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain does not only rely on their personal strength. Instead, they rely on the combined efforts of the elders, disciples, and Peak Masters of the various factions."

Daoist Purple Firmament nodded, "That's true."

The three Grand Elders left.

From the beginning to the end, they only watched from the side and never really appeared.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"Young… Young Master."

Su Qimen's face was filled with shock and worship, "You… you're really too strong, too powerful. You actually defeated a late-stage Soul Formation realm opponent with only a late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation. This subordinate has never heard of such strength and talent. Young Master, you're the number one person in the world."

"Bootlicker." Shangguan Wenge appeared and said disdainfully.

"Old thing." Su Qimen swept his gaze across, "Are you itching for a beating again? I'm talking to the Young Master, who are you to interrupt? Figure out your identity. You're only an old servant."

"Old loach, did I give you face?" Shangguan Wenge glared, "You, a Manor Spirit who doesn't even have the concept of life, dare to say this to me? I think you don't want to exist anymore."

"Hehe…"

Su Qimen sneered in disdain.

"Shut up." Qi Ming said in a low voice.

"Yes."

Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge bowed at the same time.

"All of you can go."

Qi Ming waved his hand.

Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge turned around and left the main courtyard.

"Continue cultivating."

Qi Ming sat cross-legged. With another thought, he charged a large number of spirit stones and began to cultivate the Three Pure Dao Scripture and other divine powers.

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

Noon.

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming the game dungeon of the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace for a day and cleared the game dungeon once. You have received: Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Scripture. One million top-grade spirit stones."

A notification appeared.

This was already the 30th time that Qi Ming had cleared the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace this month. He had obtained many good things, but he had not obtained mystic technique divine powers like the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques and the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture.

It was already not bad.

Qi Ming opened his inventory. There were a large number of items inside. It was a dazzling lineup and was a little overwhelming because there were really many.

Item: Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Scripture.

Introduction: An inheritance crystal produced by the game dungeon Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace. It is suitable for a spirit pet that has cultivated the Taiji Sword Dao. It can increase the growth and potential of a spirit pet.

"Not bad."

Qi Ming checked the information of this legacy crystal. This was clearly an inheritance crystal that was suitable for Huo Changqing. Qi Ming did not hesitate and immediately called Huo Changqing out.

Swish!

A white light flashed in front of him.

"Master."

Huo Changqing had already appeared.

Qi Ming took out the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Scripture. This Inheritance Crystal was in the shape of a jade book and handed it to Huo Changqing.

"Begin the fusion." Qi Ming said.

Huo Changqing looked a little excited, "Yes, Master."

The fusion began.

The jade book in Huo Changqing's hand automatically flipped its pages, and black and white streams of light appeared. They transformed into the appearance of a taiji diagram that enveloped Huo Changqing's entire body.

A mysterious energy surged into Huo Changqing's body.

"Come back."

Swish!

Huo Changqing was taken into Qi Ming's second spirit pet slot.

"I'll charge 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Elite Spirit Pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint is growing under the enhancement of a million times… He is fusing with the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Scripture…"

A notification appeared.

"Not bad." Qi Ming nodded and closed the notification.

A day later.

Ding!

"The elite spirit pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint has grown for a day under the enhancement of a million times. He has already perfectly fused with the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Scripture. He has further increased his growth and potential. He has increased his original foundation and grasped the power of the Taiji Sword Dao, Dawn, Dusk, and Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao. He can at most reach the late-stage Soul Formation realm."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming checked Huo Changqing's basic information again.

After Huo Changqing fused with the Inheritance Crystal—Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Scripture, he had not reached the level of a rare spirit pet. It could be seen that a rare spirit pet was not ordinary and could not be reached so easily.

Huo Changqing's growth potential and talent had still increased. He could continue to grow to the late-stage Soul Formation realm.

"Then continue to grow in the spirit pet slot." Qi Ming said.

Immediately after, he charged another 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Three days later, Qi Ming was already prepared to head to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

"Young Master, you…"

Su Qimen was still a little worried, "Are you really planning to go to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven? It's been tens of thousands of years inside. I don't know what it's like anymore."

"I think that Young Master should increase your cultivation level again and wait until you're strong enough."

"No need." Qi Ming said, "It's enough now."

"This…"

Su Qimen pondered for a moment, "Alright, since it's Young Master's instructions, I naturally have to listen. I'll open the entrance to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven for you."

"Young Master, please follow me."

Qi Ming followed.

The two of them arrived in the courtyard.

"Mystic Gate, open."

Su Qimen stood in front and waved his hands. Runes appeared and fluttered like butterflies. They gathered in front of him, and waves appeared in the space before gradually turning into a vortex.

In the blink of an eye, the entrance to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven had already appeared.

It was an oval black vortex about three meters in diameter.

"Young Master."

After opening the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, he stood at the side and reported to Qi Ming, "The entrance to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven has been opened. You can enter and leave at any time."

Qi Ming nodded.

"You old loach. You didn't even tell me that you had opened the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. Hurry up and tell me. Are you hiding something from me? Or are you planning to do something bad?"

Shangguan Wenge ran over and pointed at Su Qimen as he scolded.

"Shut up." Su Qimen glared at Shangguan Wenge again.

"Hehe."

Shangguan Wenge crossed his arms in front of his chest and said smugly, "What's wrong? Is it because I was right that you became angry?"

"Young Master."

"Just in case, please let me accompany you to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven."

"Old thing, I think you want to enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven yourself."

Su Qimen shouted, "Why do you want to enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven so badly? Do you have any backup plans in this place? Hurry up and tell me the truth."

"Bullshit." Shangguan Wenge shouted.

"I think you're up to no good." Su Qimen retorted.

"Stop arguing."

Qi Ming raised his hand to stop them, "I'll go take a look alone this time. Stay here and guard. No one is allowed to approach or enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven."

"Did you hear that?" Qi Ming said in a low voice.

"Alright, got it." Shangguan Wenge said.

"Yes, Young Master." Su Qimen bowed.

Qi Ming nodded and walked into the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

His figure disappeared into the oval black vortex.

"Will Young Master gain anything?" Su Qimen said.

"How would I know?"

Shangguan Wenge shrugged. "I originally wanted to go in with Young Master. Perhaps I could help him and leave a good impression in front of him. In the end, it was all ruined by you."

"Hehe."

Su Qimen chuckled, "Would you be so kind? I don't believe you. Are you plotting something again? I'm sorry, but with me watching, you can forget about it."

"The Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven is the first grotto-heaven among the nine grotto-heavens."

Shangguan Wenge said, "It's been tens of thousands of years. There are probably already Dao Integration realm living beings inside. If Qi Ming enters like this and accidentally exposes his identity or is discovered by the old monsters in the grotto-heaven, he'll probably be in quite a lot of trouble."

"Normally speaking, you have to at least reach the Soul Formation realm to enter the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. Why are you opening it for him now? Do you want him to die inside?"

"Nonsense." Su Qimen said coldly, "Young Master is powerful and has deep fortune. No one can compare to him. With his ability, he will definitely be able to completely subdue the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven after entering this time."

"I don't believe you." Shangguan Wenge said, "You want to murder Young Master."

"Old thing, do you want to fight?" Su Qimen shouted.

"Can you defeat me?" Shangguan Wenge sneered disdainfully.

"I'll deal with you like eating and drinking." Su Qimen said.

...

Qi Ming had already entered the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven world. The scene changed and he arrived at a wilderness suburb of the grotto-heaven. After looking around, he saw his surroundings clearly. It was a relatively flat wilderness. Not far away, there was a village in the southeast, and there was a town further northwest.

There were humans living in the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

Qi Ming pondered for a moment. "I'll find a place to stay first.. Then, I'll use the two mystic techniques, Heavenly Observation and Future Sight, to deduce the history and future of the Mystic Gate Grotto."

Chapter 152: Mystic Gate Village, the Eight Gates of the World

"After 38,980 years, the Mystic Gate opened again and the heavenly secrets descended. I wonder if this is a blessing or a calamity for the entire grotto-heaven."

"Find him! We have to find him!"

"Heaven's secrets must not be leaked!"

"The eight gates in the world will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to rise."

"Hehehe…"

"…"

In the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, as soon as Qi Ming descended to this grotto-heaven world, he had actually already attracted the attention of the experts in the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. These experts circulated the Mystic Gate Technique in a bid to spy on the heavenly secrets and lock onto his location.

Qi Ming used his divine power to protect his body. All techniques could not touch him, and the heavenly secrets were sealed.

The experts of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven could not lock onto Qi Ming's location, much less pry into the heavenly secrets. They wanted to deduce, but they could only see a blurry white fog.

The experts of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven did not give up easily. Instead, they thought of another way. They even used the power of the grotto-heaven spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven…

Qi Ming flew in the air and looked around. He planned to find a place to stay in the surroundings. He originally wanted to go to a town further away, but he changed his mind.

He did not go to the town to avoid trouble.

Qi Ming planned to find a quiet place to stay in the wilderness.

Coincidentally…

When Qi Ming found a place to stay, he passed by a medium-sized village.

"This village…"

Qi Ming stopped and looked down. The entire village had a mysterious and ominous aura, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. This made Qi Ming quite curious. Under some strange circumstances, he descended from the sky and arrived not far from the village. He followed the mountain path to the village entrance.

A simple-faced farmer walked over.

"Hello."

Qi Ming walked over and stretched out his hand to stop the farmer at the village entrance. He smiled and asked, "Is there anywhere to stay in the village?"

"I… I don't know…"

This farmer's skin was rough and his hands were covered in calluses. When he saw Qi Ming suddenly appear and saw his luxurious clothes and aura that was like an immortal, he was shocked and was a little at a loss. His face was filled with respect and fear as he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qi Ming at all.

In the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, there was an extremely firm class system.

"Lord… Lord… you… you can go and find our Village Chief…" The farmer said nervously.

"Can you lead the way?" Qi Ming asked.

"Yes… yes." The male villager nodded.

It was not that this farmer did not know, but he did not dare to speak nonsense. He was afraid that if he did not entertain Qi Ming well, he would upset the latter. Therefore, he said that he did not know and let Qi Ming go find the village chief.

Half an hour later, Qi Ming saw the village chief of the Zhao Family Village. He was an old man with white hair. Moreover, he was not an ordinary person, but a cultivator at the seventh level Qi Refinement realm.

"Honorable Lord."

When the village chief of the Zhao Family Village saw Qi Ming, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him, "I wonder why you came to the Zhao Family Village?"

Although this village chief could not see Qi Ming's background and identity, the faint aura on Qi Ming's body already made his heart tremble.

The village leader of the Zhao Family Village immediately understood.

The person in front of him was an unfathomable figure.

It was definitely not someone he could offend.

They had to treat him well.

"I plan to find a quiet place to stay."

Qi Ming said, "Do you have any room in your village?"

The village leader of the Zhao Family Village nodded quickly, "Lord, in the east of our village, there's an independent courtyard near the Earth Temple. We can completely let you rest for the time being."

"Okay." Qi Ming nodded. "Lead the way."

"Lord, follow me."

The village chief of the Zhao Village nodded and bowed as he led the way for Qi Ming.

While walking, Qi Ming took out an ingot of silver and gave it to the honest farmer. This was the reward for leading the way for him.

"Thank… thank you, Lord!"

Thump!

This farmer immediately knelt on the ground. He was excited and kowtowed to thank him.

Another half an hour later, Qi Ming followed this village chief to the courtyard. Along the way, he naturally encountered many villagers. They did not dare to approach and only dared to look at him from afar, their eyes filled with reverence.

"Big Brother…"

At this moment, in a remote alley, a girl in ragged clothes ran over as she even fell halfway.

"What?" Qi Ming stopped and looked at this girl in ragged clothes, "What's wrong?"

"Big Brother, I know you're a good person. You gave my father so much money, so quickly leave this village." The sallow-faced girl in ragged clothes and hair said anxiously.

"Why do you want me to leave?" Qi Ming asked.

"Because… because… the village…"

"Xiao Cui!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed past Qi Ming and ran very quickly. Then, he hugged this sallow-faced girl.

"I… I'm sorry, Lord… My daughter accidentally fell on her head when she was young, so her speech and intelligence are different from ordinary people. You… You can't believe what she said."

Qi Ming looked at the rough-skinned village man in front of him and did not say anything.

Xiao Cui's words still made Qi Ming slightly vigilant.

"Get lost." The Village Chief shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes."

This farmer nodded quickly and hugged Xiao Cui tightly in his arms before quickly leaving. He did not dare to look back. The little girl forcefully squeezed her head out of her father's arms and looked at Qi Ming as if she was saying, "Hurry up and leave, Big Brother."

"Lord." The village leader smiled fawningly, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Okay." Qi Ming said.

He pushed open the courtyard door.

The courtyard was quite clean. It was only a small courtyard house. The village chief introduced this courtyard to Qi Ming and took his leave.

"Lord, I'll leave first."

The Village Chief said, "I won't disturb Lord's rest."

Qi Ming nodded.

Creak…

The Village Chief walked out of the courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

"This village is a little interesting."

Qi Ming spread his Dharmic powers and sensed his surroundings. The entire village was in a very strange state. Between illusion and reality, it was like an independent space.

This was an extremely profound phenomenon.

Not long after, outside the village, figures tore through the air.

There were a total of eight.

They stood in eight different spots.

Their figures soared into the sky.

"How's the situation?"

"Don't worry. As expected of the successor of the Heavenly Secrets. He's indeed extraordinary. Our Mystic Gate technique is useless. We can't lock onto or scheme against him. If not for the power of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven's spirit, we would not have been able to guide him into the village."

"The eight gates of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven are gathered."

"Even if the other party has three heads and six arms, it's useless with his extraordinary divine powers."

"As long as we capture the other party and control them, we can truly leave this world and obtain true freedom to roam the world."

"Get ready."

Qi Ming was unknowingly tricked.

In the courtyard, inside the room.

"Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven."

Qi Ming sat cross-legged in the room. With a thought, a golden light immediately appeared around him. He circulated the Purity Golden Body and said, "Heavenly Observation."

Boom!

It was one of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, the mystic technique, Heavenly Observation.

One could observe and deduce the past and history.

At this moment, Qi Ming's Dharmic powers were quickly consumed. In his mind, the past and history of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven gradually appeared.

The layers of fog were peeled open.

It was clearly presented in front of Qi Ming.

Qi Ming had already cultivated the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques to the limit of Small Success. Coupled with the increase in Qi Ming's cultivation, the power he could unleash had already far exceeded the past.

In an instant, Qi Ming already knew all the history and history of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. Not only did he know what had happened in the past 30,000 years, but he also knew that it was established and created.

In other words, The Mystic Gate grotto-heaven no longer had any secrets in Qi Ming's eyes.

"Future Sight."

Boom!

Qi Ming used his mystic technique and divine power technique again. His consciousness seemed to be traveling through the river of time to peer into the future of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

He did not see clearly this time. He could only see a layer of fog. It was extremely dense, causing him to be unable to see anything.

This was because the future of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven was closely related to Qi Ming, so he could not pry into it. He could spy on the fate and future of all living beings, but he could not see the future related to himself.

This was the only flaw of the mystic technique, Future Sight.

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Under the development of tens of thousands of years, the entire Mystic Gate grotto-heaven is divided into eight provinces. In turn, it is divided into eight sects, named after the eight gates in the Mystic Gate."

"They are: Gate of Opening, Gate of Slumber, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Death, and Gate of Shock. They are collectively called the eight gates in the world. Every sect has a Dao Integration realm expert guarding it."

"I didn't expect this."

"As soon as I entered the Mystic Gate World, I was already targeted by the eight gates of the world. I even walked into their trap and unknowingly entered this Mystic Gate Village."

"They want to join forces to deal with me."

Qi Ming's gaze was cold, "Spirit of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, you're really bold to dare to join forces with the eight sects to go against me."

"Hehe…"

At this moment, in a corner of the courtyard.

A girl in ragged clothes appeared. It was the girl Qi Ming had seen during the day. She stood in the corner and greeted Qi Ming.

"Big Brother…"

The girl smiled and said, "You can't blame me for this. I reminded you during the day to leave the village, but you didn't listen."

"Moreover…"

"The eight sects of the world are deeply rooted in the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. Although Big Brother is the successor of Heaven Secrets, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Moreover, your cultivation level is so weak, only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. Under such circumstances, it's useless even if I want to help you."

"I can only apologize, Big Brother."

"I hope you can survive."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's figure gradually faded.

Chapter 153: Death Gate Lord

The spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven was this little girl. Or rather, this little girl was an external manifestation of the spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

Qi Ming did not attack this grotto-heaven spirit.

For the time being, there was no need.

"Survive?"

Qi Ming's face was expressionless. After seeing the grotto-heaven spirit disappear in front of him, he walked out of the courtyard and arrived outside. He looked up at the pitch-black sky.

Late at night, somehow. because Qi Ming had used his divine power to peer into history and the future, he had attracted the killing intent of heaven and earth. However, he was completely immune using the Purity Golden Body and was not affected at all.

Boom!

Instead, in the entire courtyard.

Under the invisible killing intent of heaven and earth, it turned to ashes.

The entire courtyard seemed to have disappeared.

"This…"

Not far away, the spirit of the grotto-heaven appeared again. She looked at Qi Ming's location and saw the courtyard that had disappeared into thin air. She was really shocked, "What… what happened just now?!"

"My scalp is turning numb."

The grotto-heaven spirit immediately hid itself.

"I originally thought that I would have to find them myself. I didn't expect them to send themselves to me." Qi Ming said indifferently, "This is good. It can save me a lot of effort."

Outside the village, the Eight Gates Sect Masters appeared. They stood in eight directions around the Mystic Gate Village and occupied eight important array points with the Mystic Gate technique.

"He's the successor of the Heaven Secrets?"

"Late-stage Nascent Soul realm?"

"This…"

"He's actually only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm?"

"Hahaha…"

"Ridiculous, too laughable."

"He only has a late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation and actually dares to step into the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. He really doesn't know how the word 'death' is written. No wonder the spirit of the grotto-heaven was so easy-going this time. It only wanted a small price and agreed to help us. So that's why!"

"Did it think that this successor of the Heaven Secrets will definitely lose?"

After the eight Sect Masters saw Qi Ming's situation clearly, they immediately laughed loudly. Their solemn expressions earlier all relaxed.

"I'll go first."

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Death Gate, Xie Wenling, was an old man with white hair. He wore a pitch-black cloak and was surrounded by a gray fog. His body was extremely heavy with death energy, and his figure was hunched. His entire body was hidden in the cloak and gray fog as he said, "I'm here to test this successor of the Heaven Secrets."

"Alright."

"Thank you for your help, Sect Master."

"Yes."

"…"

The other seven Sect Masters nodded.

"Death Gate! Open!"

Xie Wenling formed hand seals and looked down at the village below. He circulated his Dharmic powers and activated the power of the Gate of Death.

"Dead Souls Kingdom."

Boom!

Xie Wenling roared as vast Dharmic powers surged out and surged into the village. In the sky above the entire village, an incomparably huge array formation immediately appeared.

The entire array formation was like an octagon and was covered in profound rune patterns.

Vast power of the Death Gate poured in through the array formation.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

A low roar sounded.

It came from all directions.

It was extremely terrifying.

At this moment, in the entire village, something unexpected happened.

Crack! Crack!

The ground cracked.

Zombies crawled out from the ground one after another. There were extremely many of them. The villagers in the village had been transformed into terrifying undead monsters by the vast power of the Gate of Death.

Roars sounded in all directions.

In an extremely short period of time, the entire village became the Dead Souls Kingdom.

Looking over, there were all kinds of zombies, undead, monsters…

They were densely packed.

There were countless of them.

"Attack!"

Xie Wenling shouted and controlled the Dead Souls Kingdom. An extremely large number of zombies, specters, and monsters formed an army and surrounded Qi Ming.

"This is the technique passed down by Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

Qi Ming naturally sensed the change in the entire village. He clearly felt the dense power of one of the eight gates, the Death Gate, envelop the entire village.

"Death Gate Diagram."

Qi Ming looked at the array formation above the village again. His gaze flowed as he circulated the Mystic Technique, and he had already completely seen through the entire array formation.

The eight gates in the world of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven had all cultivated the Mystical Gate Technique. It was a cultivation method that Patriarch Heaven Secrets had created through the Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power.

The technique that Qi Ming had grasped was the origin and core of the eight gates in the world. Moreover, Qi Ming had also cultivated the technique to the Perfection realm.

Qi Ming could easily see through the entire Death Gate Diagram.

At this moment, the monsters of the entire Mystic Gate Village had already surrounded Qi Ming. There were too many of them, and they attacked him from all directions with a terrifying aura.

"Get lost!"

Boom!

Qi Ming took a step forward and released the Green Lotus Sword Dao. The twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus appeared, and all three intrinsic treasures appeared.

In an instant, countless sword qi blossomed like flower petals, and they were extremely gorgeous. Every flower petal scattered countless hair-like sword qi.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!!

Rumble!!!

At this moment, it was like a flower blooming in the center.

In the surroundings, all the monsters that charged over were obliterated by this terrifying sword qi, and they were even pierced into flesh and blood that covered the sky and sprayed in the surroundings.

The ground was covered in blurry flesh.

It was like purgatory.

"What powerful sword qi."

Xie Wenling was shocked, "As expected of the successor of the Heaven Secrets. His cultivation is only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, but his strength has reached this level. The power that erupted just now has probably already reached the Soul Formation realm."

"Indeed."

"I was wrong."

"However, it doesn't matter. He's currently in the Mystic Gate Village. Forget about reaching the Soul Formation realm, it's useless even if he can reach the Dao Integration realm."

"No rush."

"I'll slowly exhaust all his Dharmic powers."

"In the end, we'll capture him."

The various Sect Masters discussed.

They had long planned it.

"Spirit pets, come out."

Qi Ming said, "It's time for you to exercise."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and several streaks of light tore through the air.

In the blink of an eye.

Huo Changqing, the Frost Demoness, and the Yin-Yang Demon Bat appeared.

"Master."

The three of them bowed to Qi Ming.

"Attack with all your might."

Qi Ming ordered, "Destroy this undead kingdom."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Huo Changqing and the others replied.

Huo Changqing, the Frost Demoness, and the Yin-Yang Demon Bat were all at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm. Their cultivation levels were not low, and their strength was not weak either.

They were perfect to deal with these undead monsters.

"Spirit pets."

"This…"

"His cultivation level is only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, but he actually nurtured three spirit pets. There's also a human spirit pet. This is a demonic method."

"Impressive."

"The three spirit pets are actually all at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

"They really can't be underestimated."

The sect masters discussed.

Their voices were very relaxed because they were all in the Dao Integration realm.

In their eyes, the Leaving Aperture realm was only a slightly larger ant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The battle erupted.

Huo Changqing and the others blocked the Dead Souls Kingdom. More and more corpses appeared. Unknowingly, these corpses and flesh under the Death Gate Diagram underwent a strange change.

"It's time."

Xie Wenling's gaze flashed as he laughed sinisterly, "Successor of the Heavenly Secrets, I'll let you see the strongest technique of the Death Gate Diagram, the Death Gate Lord!"

"Descend!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Xie Wenling shouted and vast Dharmic powers were injected into it. The power of the Death Gate Diagram completely erupted, and all the corpses and flesh underwent a strange change.

In midair.

In the center of the Death Gate Diagram, an incomparably huge vortex appeared. All the corpses and flesh turned into a fog of death that fused into the vortex.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

The vortex dissipated.

An incomparably huge hideous monster appeared. Its huge head actually had more than a hundred faces. It was completely huge and was 500 meters tall. It was like a huge ball, but it was covered in countless arms.

It was strange, evil, and sinister…

"What monster is this?"

Qi Ming frowned.

"Hahaha…"

Xie Wenling laughed wildly and was very excited, "Success, I succeeded. The Death Gate Lord, this is the Death Gate Lord. If not for the help of the Mystic Gate Village, it would not have been easy to create this monster."

"Sect Master Xie, Your hobby is really not flattering."

"This monster is too disgusting."

"Damn…"

The other Sect Masters could not help but say.

"Hahaha…"

Xie Wenling continued to laugh wildly, "You don't know anything at all. This is the charm of the Death Gate. This is the twisted beauty…"

"Death Gate Lord!"

Xie Wenling roared, "Attack!"

Roar!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Death Gate Lord immediately attacked, and roars sounded. The huge body was formed by more than a hundred faces, and every face had a bloody mouth.

At this moment, hundreds of bloody mouths opened.

Black light beams roared.

Qi Ming was attacked.

"Such a disgusting monster should disappear from my sight as soon as possible." Qi Ming said.

Swish!

Black Flame appeared.

"Dragon Flame Breath."

The black flames circled above Qi Ming's head. It did not enlarge its body. Its dragon body was only a meter long, but it roared out an extremely terrifying pitch-black dragon breath.

Bang bang bang!!!

Continuous explosions sounded.

All the pitch-black light beams were obliterated by Black Flame's dragon breath. They were unable to resist at all. The vast dragon breath enveloped the Death Gate Lord's entire body.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Death Gate Lord screamed miserably and kept struggling in the air, but under the terrifying black flames, it turned into ashes and disappeared.

It was destroyed in one move.

"Wh… What?!"

"This…"

"What happened?"

The Sect Masters were also shocked.

"This is impossible!"

Xie Wenling could not help but scream and shout, "How can my Death Gate Lord be so weak? How can it be defeated so easily?"

This situation was beyond his expectations, which was why he was so shocked.

"This is a Dao Integration realm spirit pet!"

Not far away, the spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven appeared again. She revealed the image of a little girl and looked at the Hornless Black Dragon above Qi Ming's head, her face filled with shock, "Am… Am I wrong?"

"Death Gate Diagram! Open again!"

Xie Wenling shouted loudly, "It's fine. As long as the Death Gate's array formation is still here, I can continue to mobilize the power of the Death Gate. In the Death Gate Diagram, the Death Gate Lord is immortal and can continuously revive."

As soon as he finished speaking, under the Death Gate Diagram, the huge vortex from before appeared again.

Somehow, the vast power of the Death Gate and the strange power gathered again.

"Enough."

At this moment, Qi Ming snorted coldly and pointed with his right hand, "Six Mystic Gates! Death Gate! Break!"

Six Mystic Gates.

This was a mystic technique of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques.

The true power of this mystic technique was even above the Mystic Gate Divination. However, it was even more difficult to master.

The Mystic Gate Divination was only a Lesser Divine Power, and the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques was a Great Divine Power. Although the Six Mystic Gates was only one of the many techniques, it was still extremely powerful.

The user of the Six Mystic Gates could control ghosts and demons, manipulating them at will.

In addition, this mystic technique divine power also contained various spells related to medicine and divination.

In the end.

He could master the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars of heaven and earth, as well as the laws of the circulation of heaven and earth. He could use the laws of heaven and earth to set up an array to fight his enemies.

Therefore…

This was the Dao of array formations.

Swish!

Qi Ming's finger had already activated the trend of the surrounding heaven and earth. Coupled with his strength and the true intent of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, it condensed into a finger divine light.

Divine light shone.

It was like a purple-gold light beam.

Boom!

Then, this finger divine light pointed at a spot on the right side of the Death Gate Diagram. Light flickered, and the Death Gate Diagram shook violently.

Crack! Crack!

Cracks appeared on the Dead Gate's array formation.

In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire Death Gate Diagram.

The huge vortex under the array formation quickly dissipated, unable to condense again.

"No… no…"

Xie Wenling was shocked, his face filled with shock, "How… how did he know where the flaw in my Death Gate Diagram is? This is impossible!"

"The Death Gate Diagram is about to break."

"Quickly attack."

"We can't let the successor of the Heaven Secrets break the Death Gate Diagram."

"Once the Death Gate Diagram is broken, it will affect the other seven gates and even cause the entire Mystic Gate Village to be broken from within."

"Opening Gate Diagram."

"Slumber Gate Diagram."

"Life Gate Diagram."

"Pain Gate Diagram."

"Limit Gate Diagram."

"View Gate Diagram."

"Shock Gate Diagram."

"Seven Gates! Activate!"

The other seven Sect Masters all attacked. They circulated their cultivation methods, and their Dharmic powers surged. Their hands formed hand seals, and seals and spells appeared. Light surged.

In an instant, above the Death Gate Diagram, seven different array formations immediately appeared.

At this moment, above Qi Ming, the eight array diagrams overlapped. They were dazzling as array light spread out. Symbols and array patterns flickered as they combined, forming an extremely profound phenomenon.

At this moment, the eight array formations overlapped.

It was like an eight-story pagoda.

Qi Ming was suppressed by this eight-story pagoda.

"Eight Gates Diagram."

Qi Ming looked at this formation and did not panic at all. His figure soared into the sky and looked straight at the eight array formations. Black Flame followed closely behind Qi Ming.

Roar! Roar!

Black Flame let out dragon roars.

"This is…"

The eight Sect Masters saw Black Flame's figure and felt the aura of the Dao Integration realm. Shock appeared on their faces, "This is actually a late-stage Dao Integration spirit pet!"

"Moreover, it's a dragon!"

Shock!

They were incomparably shocked!

No wonder the Death Gate Lord was destroyed.

"The situation has changed."

Not far away.

The expression of the spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven changed slightly.

"Eight Gates of the World."

Qi Ming's gaze was cold. He stood in the sky and did not have any fear when facing the eight array formations. Instead, he was aggressive and domineering, "You're really bold and impudent."

"My master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, established the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven and bestowed you with cultivation methods. Not only were you ungrateful, but you even dared to attack me."

"Are you courting death?"

"This…"

The eight Sect Masters paused.

"Patriarch Heaven Secrets has not appeared for tens of thousands of years. Moreover, the Mystic World has not contacted the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven for tens of thousands of years. Who knows if you're telling the truth or not?"

The Opening Gate Sect Master, Jiang Qing, shouted.

"That's right."

Slumber Gate Sect Master Li Xin nodded in agreement.

"How can you prove that you're Patriarch Heaven Secrets' disciple?" The Sect Master of the Life Gate, Shen Feiyun, asked.

"If you are really the disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets, then you can naturally destroy this Mystic Gate Village. As long as you can destroy this village, we will immediately bow our heads." Xie Wenling shouted.

"That's right."

"As long as you can break through this Mystic Gate Village, we will acknowledge you as the successor of Heaven Secrets."

"I'm afraid you can't break it."

The other Sect Masters shouted.

"Hahaha…"

Qi Ming directly laughed, "Mystic Gate Village? Do you think that after tens of thousands of years, you've surpassed your predecessors? The eight array formations are indeed not bad. It's indeed very praiseworthy that you can develop the Dao of Mystic Gate to this extent."

"Unfortunately, have you forgotten that all your cultivation methods originated from Patriarch Heaven Secrets?"

"It's better to wait until you destroy the Mystic Gate Village before speaking nonsense." Jiang Qing shouted.

"Even if you know the principle behind this, you can't break it." Li Xin said in a low voice.

"Then I'll let you see."

Qi Ming took a step forward.

The next moment.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Qi Ming directly used the three Lesser Divine Powers.

The Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power.

Qi Ming waved his hands, and Dharmic powers surged. His divine power circulated, and the true intent of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao gathered. The power of Heaven and Earth was mobilized, "Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power."

"Five Elements Cycle Divine Power!"

"Heaven Secrets Array!"

"Open!"

Boom!

Qi Ming shouted.

In an instant, the three great array formations appeared in midair. Moreover, Qi Ming circulated the Three Pure Dao Scripture and fused the three great divine power array formations.

The vast Heaven Secrets Array appeared.

Rumble!!!

A huge rumble sounded.

A terrifying storm brewed.

"This… this…"

"Heaven Secrets Array! This is the Heaven Secrets Array!"

"How is this possible?!"

"…"

The eight Sect Masters were all shocked.

"Three Mystic Formation!"

"Open!"

Rumble!!!

At this moment, the ground shook.

The eight Sect Masters looked at each other. At this moment, they decided to give it their all and completely unleash their strength.

Under Qi Ming's feet, three more array formations appeared.

These three array formations combined and were collectively called the Three Mystic Array Formation.

The Three Mystic Diagram Array combined with the eight array diagrams above, forming a strange space. Qi Ming was in this strange space.

The Three Mystic Formation was set up by the grotto-heaven spirit of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven. Before the Three Mystic Formation was completely activated, a village would be created. With the help of the grotto-heaven spirit, it attracted Qi Ming to step into it unknowingly.

This was the Mystic Gate Village, which could also be called the Mystic Gate Formation.

"Once the Mystic Gate Village is formed, it will form a space. Moreover, it will be connected to the entire Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven and can borrow the power of the entire grotto-heaven."

The spirit of the grotto-heaven watched the battle not far away, "The Heaven Secrets Inheritor is trapped. It's impossible for him to come out. It's impossible for him to break through the Mystic Gate Village."

"Because fighting the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven is fighting the entire Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven."

"He has already lost."

The grotto-heaven spirit sighed as if it was quite regretful.

"Hahaha…"

Xie Wenling laughed wildly, "What successor of the Heaven Secrets? So what if you can activate the Heaven Secrets Array? With your late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation, can you still break the Mystic Gate Array?"

"In my opinion, he's not the successor of the Heavenly Secrets at all. He's probably a fake."

"That's right, that's right."

"If he's the true successor of the Heaven Secrets, it's impossible for him to not be able to break through our Mystic Gate Village."

"Hahaha…"

The sect masters laughed heartily.

In the Mystic Gate Village, Qi Ming was trapped. Above his head, the Heaven Secrets Array was constantly circulating. As it resisted the power of the Mystic Gate Village, colorful light kept falling.

Bang bang bang!!!

There were continuous collisions and explosions.

All around, the Eight Gates Formation combined with the Three Mystic Formation. Qi Ming circulated the Six Mystic Gates and coupled with the three Lesser Divine Powers, he actually did not find any flaws in the 'Mystic Gate Village'.

Not only that, the originally shaky Death Gate Diagram was also repaired at this moment.

"There's actually no flaw."

Qi Ming was very surprised.

He was actually surprised.

The eight gates in the world had actually studied the Mystic Gate Dao to this extent. The Mystic Gate Village formed by them actually did not have any flaws.

It was almost perfect.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Black Flame transformed into a hundred-meter-long Hornless Black Dragon and used the Yinglong Nine Transformations. It used all kinds of divine powers and spells and attacked the Mystic Gate Village.

There was a violent explosion.

Space seemed to be about to collapse.

It could be seen how powerful Black Flame was.

It had reached the limit of the Dao Integration realm.

The Mystic Gate Village formed a space and fused with the entire world. No matter how strong Black Flame was, it could not shake or destroy this Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

Unless one surpassed the Dao Integration realm, but that was impossible.

Chapter 155: Breaking the Mystic Gate, Suppressing the Eight Gates (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"This spirit pet is so powerful."

"It has probably reached the limit of the Dao Integration realm."

"However, it's useless. The Mystic Gate Village has no flaws and can only resist head-on. If it wants to use brute force to break the array, it has to surpass the Dao Integration realm."

"Hahaha…"

"We'll definitely win."

The eight Sect Masters were filled with confidence.

Black Flame's gaze flickered as it roared, "Master, you don't have to worry. I'll detonate my Dragon Pearl now and definitely destroy this thing."

"Self-destruct your Dragon Pearl?"

Qi Ming shook his head, "What are you thinking? It's only a Mystic Gate Formation. Do you need to do that? You underestimate your master."

"But Master…"

Black Flame's gaze was worried.

The situation did not seem optimistic.

"Ridiculous."

"What else can you do?"

"The Dao Integration realm spirit pet beside you can't even break through the Mystic Gate Village. With your late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation? Even with the Heaven Secrets Array, you won't be able to last long."

"Admit defeat obediently."

"You can't win."

"You've already lost."

The eight Sect Masters maintained the Mystic Gate Village with all their might and shouted in succession.

Qi Ming had to admit that the eight sects of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven were indeed quite capable. They had actually evolved the Mystic Gate Dao passed down by Patriarch Heaven Secrets to this extent.

It was like a miracle.

Qi Ming also personally experienced the power of the Mystic Gate Village.

Under such circumstances, he seemed to be helpless.

But that was not the case.

The three Lesser Divine Powers that Patriarch Heaven Secrets had taught Qi Ming were indeed very powerful. However, Qi Ming's cultivation was not enough to completely unleash the power of these three Lesser Divine Powers.

Now it seemed that the three Lesser Divine Powers could not destroy the Mystic Gate Village.

Qi Ming naturally gave up on using the divine power methods that Patriarch Heaven Secrets had given him.

"The eight sects of the world, your strength can be considered to have obtained my recognition. Only you who have this strength are qualified to become my subordinates."

Qi Ming continued, "Otherwise…"

"If your strength doesn't catch my eye, I can only let you all be obliterated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming waved his right hand and retracted his Dharmic powers. The Heaven Secrets Array in the sky instantly dissipated, turning into points of light that filled the sky. The scene was quite gorgeous.

"You're still being stubborn."

"He… he took back the Heaven Secrets Array."

"Be careful."

"Hurry up and stop. Don't kill him."

"If he dies, we won't be able to get out."

"Does he want to die?"

"What is he doing?"

The eight Sect Masters were shocked.

"Three Pure Dao Scripture."

For the first time, Qi Ming truly used the power of the Three Pure Dao Scripture. The Three Pure Nascent Soul opened its eyes, and the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao erupted.

Jade Pure, Supreme Pure, Grand Pure.

Three Dharma Idols of the Nascent Soul appeared behind Qi Ming.

The Three Pure Nascent Soul chanted together.

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

"Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, and Three begets all things…"

"A truly good man is not aware of his goodness, and is therefore good. A foolish man tries to be good, and is therefore not good."

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

At this moment, Heaven and Earth Great Dao True Intent circulated around Qi Ming.

Its might kept rising.

In the surrounding space, it was as if there was a distortion.

It was too terrifying.

"What… what is this?!"

"Gasp…"

"Hurry! Hurry! Activate the Mystic Gate Village at full strength!"

"Hurry up!"

The eight Sect Masters roared.

They were roaring.

"Purity Golden Body."

Qi Ming's entire body shook as golden light flashed. Under the enhancement of the Three Pure Dao Scripture, the power of the Purity Golden Body increased further, and it had the power of complete spell immunity.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The Mystic Gate Village circulated. The Three Mystic Formation combined with the Eight Gates Formation and evolved the power of heaven and earth. It contained the power of heaven and earth. Dao light fog spread and suppressed Qi Ming.

The power of heaven and earth, the strange light fog, the eight gates and three mystics landed on Qi Ming, they were all obliterated by the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

All the Dharmic powers and divine powers were unable to break through the faint golden light of the Purity Golden Body. Qi Ming was already standing in an invincible position wherever he stood.

"This… this is impossible!"

Upon seeing this scene, the eight sect masters widened their eyes and shouted in shock.

"How can this be? How can this be?"

"The power of the Mystic Gate Formation is useless against him."

"What… is going on?"

"!!!"

The eight sect masters shouted.

"Three Pure Avatars."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The next moment, Qi Ming used the divine power spell of the Three Pure Dao Scripture again. More than half of the Dharmic powers in his body that were as vast as an ocean were consumed. Immediately, a green light escaped from above his head.

This green light tore through the air and split into three in midair, evolving into three avatars. The three avatars were identical to Qi Ming's Three Pure Nascent Soul, but they were many times larger.

Most importantly, these three avatars had the same strength as Qi Ming.

Apart from the Three Pure Avatars, almost all divine power methods could be used.

"Reversing Wind."

Qi Ming's three avatars rushed out. Coupled with Qi Ming himself, he stood in four different directions. They were the four directions.

Then, Qi Ming and the three avatars used the mystic technique, Reversing Wind, at the same time.

Although this mystic technique did not sound grand, its true power was extremely terrifying. Cultivating it to an extremely profound realm was enough to reverse the development of things.

"Break."

Boom!

Qi Ming shouted loudly. The three avatars shouted at the same time and attacked at the same time to unleash the power of this mystic technique.

He had already cultivated the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques to the limit of Small Success. The power of various mystic techniques and divine powers had an extremely obvious increase.

Now, he even used the Three Pure Avatars.

Its power increased again.

Crack! Crack!

Cracks appeared in the Mystic Gate Village. Under the mystic technique, Reversing Wind, the Dharmic powers contained in the Three Mystic Formation and the Eight Gates Formation were gradually broken down into spiritual qi that filled the sky.

The array formation lost the support of Dharmic powers.

It naturally began to collapse.

"Oh no!"

"The Dharmic powers in the array formation are disappearing."

"No!!!"

The eight Sect Masters were shocked.

Roar!

The next moment, Black Flame roared as its dragon body swelled with the wind, directly turning into a thousand meters tall. It was even expanding, transforming into a ten-thousand-meter dragon body Dharma Idol.

Rumble!!!

Heaven and earth shook.

The entire Mystic Gate grotto-heaven shook.

Boom!

Crack! Crack!

There was a loud sound.

Black Flame took advantage of the moment when a flaw appeared in the Mystic Gate Village and used the Yinglong Nine Transformations to directly shatter the entire village.

Bang bang bang!!!

Continuous explosions sounded.

The Three Mystic Formation and the Eight Gates Diagram shattered one after another.

"Ah!!!"

"Ugh!!!"

"No!!!"

"…"

A miserable cry sounded.

The eight sect masters spat out blood and were sent flying. They suffered the backlash of the array formation. The worldly momentum surged back and devoured themselves.

This way, they were all injured.

Rumble!!!

The Mystic Gate Village had already completely collapsed.

All around, the entire land was in chaos.

The eight Sect Masters fell to the ground. Because of the backlash of the array formation, they were actually unable to get up from the ground for a moment. They could only raise their heads and look at the Hornless Black Dragon soaring in the sky, as well as Qi Ming, who was standing on the top of its head.

At this moment, Qi Ming had already dissipated the Three Pure Avatars. The three avatars disappeared. The Dharmic powers in Qi Ming's body had been exhausted, but he was fine.

"This… this…"

Not far away, the spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven was completely dumbfounded. She originally thought that Qi Ming would definitely lose and would not be a match for the eight sects in the world.

This was because Qi Ming's cultivation level was too low. He was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, so she was more biased towards the eight sects in the world. However, the current situation surprised her.

"Is this Patriarch Heaven Secrets' personal disciple?"

The spirit of the grotto-heaven was extremely surprised, "He's clearly only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, but he has a late-stage Dao Integration spirit pet. He's clearly only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, but his strength is so exaggerated."

"Even the complete Mystic Gate Village can't trap him!"

"Too terrifying."

It was too powerful.

"Heaven Secrets Book, Heaven Secrets Brush."

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and two streaks of light tore through the air and floated in the sky. He stretched out his hand. He held the Heaven Secrets Brush in his right hand and the Heaven Secrets Book in his left.

"Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush."

The eight sect masters widened their eyes.

"The Eight Gates of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven welcome the successor of Patriarch Heaven Secrets!"

"Mystic Gate Divination, Book of Changes Eight Trigrams, Yin-Yang Five Elements, and the Heaven Secrets."

"The Dao of Heaven Secrets plot against the world."

The eight sect masters kowtowed.

They knelt on the ground.

They crawled on the ground and their bodies trembled slightly.

Qi Ming looked down from above and stood on the top of Black Flame's head. The golden light around his body had already gradually dissipated, and his Dharmic powers had returned to calm, "What else do you have to say now?"

"We… We are guilty…"

"We did not know that the successor of the Heaven Secrets had descended and thought that you were a fake. That's why we came up with this plan. We are guilty and are willing to accept any punishment."

"…"

The Sect Masters of the Eight Gates had actually been completely subdued by Qi Ming.

The strength that Qi Ming displayed was too exaggerated and too powerful. It completely exceeded the understanding of the eight sect masters. They could not understand that his late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation could break through their Mystic Gate Village.

It was unbelievable.

"Spirit of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven."

Qi Ming shouted, "Hurry up and show yourself."

"The spirit of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven greets Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven appeared on its own accord. She still had the appearance of a little girl, but she was not a beautiful girl with tattered clothes or a sallow face.

Qi Ming looked at the eight sect masters and the spirit of the grotto-heaven and said in a low voice, "From today onwards, the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven will be opened again. Spirit of the grotto-heaven, why aren't you entering the Heaven Secrets Book?"

"Yes, Master."

Her expression changed slightly. She glanced at the Heaven Secrets Book in Qi Ming's hand. Although she was a little unwilling, she still chose to submit.

The next moment, she transformed into a white stream of light and entered the Heaven Secrets Book.

Chapter 156: Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye, Above Dao Integration

The Heaven Secrets Book automatically flipped its pages. It had already mysteriously fused into the Heaven Secrets Book. Qi Ming could also sense the changes in the book. Unknowingly, the power of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven underwent a deep fusion with the Heaven Secrets Book.

On the first page, Qi Ming saw an image appear on it. It was like an ink painting drawing the scene of a strange door and grotto-heaven, like a miniature version of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven.

It was a three-dimensional drawing.

Then, beside the drawing, in all directions, there were eight gates in the world.

Finally, at the end, there was the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven spirit.

Ability: Feng Shui Mystic Formation.

"Interesting."

Qi Ming had only grasped the Heaven Secrets Book at the moment. His cultivation level was insufficient and could not completely refine it, "I can directly use the Heaven Secrets Book to mobilize the power of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven."

"This can be considered an additional method."

The Mystic Gate grotto-heaven was a small world. If he could mobilize the power of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, Qi Ming would possess power comparable to the Dao Integration realm.

In addition…

The power of the grotto-heaven was also a powerful method of the Dao Integration realm.

The eight sect masters could not open any grotto-heaven in the grotto-heaven world, so they could not be considered true Dao Integration experts.

It was quite different from the real deal.

"As for you…"

Qi Ming looked at the Eight Sect Masters kneeling on the ground.

"We are willing to be punished."

The Eight Sect Masters had already given up resisting.

"Okay."

Qi Ming's eyes flashed as he shouted, "Then activate the Mystic Gate Technique. Open your minds and don't resist. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"…"

The eight sect masters said in unison.

The Mystic Gate Technique circulated.

"Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye."

Swish!

With a thought, Qi Ming held the Heaven Secrets Brush in his right hand and gently drew between his brows. A vertical mark appeared, like it was formed by runes, like an eye.

Then, Qi Ming saw their fate aura on the eight sect masters.

At the peak, Patriarch Heaven Secrets used his supreme Dharmic powers and paid a considerable price to forcefully intercept a wisp of fate from the Mystic World and fuse it into the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush.

Qi Ming could use the Heaven Secrets Brush to activate his Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye and see the fate of the eight sect masters, but this method actually had many restrictions.

The first restriction was that if his realm and cultivation were insufficient, and he forcefully activated the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye,he would suffer the backlash of fate. There were many possibilities for the backlash.

For example, he would be unlucky for some time.

Of course, Qi Ming used the Purity Golden Body to protect himself and was immune to all methods. Coupled with the fact that Qi Ming cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture, although his cultivation level was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, with the enhancement of the Great Dao True Intent of Heaven and Earth, as long as he did not overly use the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye, he would not suffer the backlash of fate.

The second restriction.

Normally speaking, the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye could only spy on existences whose cultivation levels were lower than his. If he forcefully spied on existences whose cultivation levels were higher than his, he might be devoured by the other party's fate, causing him to be in huge danger. His Essence Soul might even be heavily injured or discovered by the other party.

That was why Qi Ming asked the Eight Sect Masters not to resist.

The third restriction.

Although the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye could peer into fate, it could not rely on it too much, much less attempt to control it. It would suffer the most terrifying backlash.

There was a saying that those who controlled fate would always be tricked by fate.

There was another sentence: When one stared at the abyss, the abyss would also stare at them.

"Heaven Secrets Brush."

With a thought, Qi Ming injected Dharmic powers into the Heaven Secrets Brush and mobilized the power of the Heaven Secrets Brush. Coupled with the power of the Heaven Secrets Book, he used the brush like a blade and gently slashed above the heads of the eight sect masters.

"Cut." Qi Ming shouted.

Somehow, Qi Ming used the Heaven Secrets Brush to intercept a wisp of fate from the eight sect masters and further fused them into the Heaven Secrets Book.

The Heaven Secrets Book flipped.

The first page was unfolded.

The scene changed again.

On the pattern of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, there were eight gates. It also displayed the basic situation of the eight sect masters, including their names, background, identity, realm, cultivation method, and so on.

If Qi Ming was willing to pay the price, he could directly activate the Heaven Secrets Brush and draw on the Heaven Secrets Book. He could completely destroy the fate of the eight sect masters.

At that time, under the backlash of fate, the eight sect masters would die on the spot.

Qi Ming would also suffer the backlash of fate, but it would be much smaller. Moreover, he had the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush to withstand most of the backlash.

In other words, the life and death of the eight sect masters were completely in Qi Ming's hands.

"Greetings, Master."

The hearts of the eight sect masters jolted. They returned to their senses. In the unseen world, they also felt the connection between themselves and the Heaven Secrets Book and knew that their lives were completely in Qi Ming's control.

Qi Ming nodded and carefully checked the situation of the eight sect masters.

…

Then, at the end of the first page of the Heaven Secrets Book, there was another sentence.

Sect Masters of the Eight Gates: Uses the Mystic Gate Technique, seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, changes the landscape, and complements the spirit of the grotto-heaven. They can set up the Mystic Gate Village and evolve an array formation space.

"Not bad."

Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.

This way, Qi Ming controlled the eight Sect Masters of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. The eight Sect Masters submitted to him. Their lives were in his hands. Coupled with the fact that the spirit of the grotto-heaven had been subdued, he naturally completely controlled the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

Next, under the lead of the Eight Gates Sect Masters, Qi Ming walked around the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven and flipped through the cultivation methods and various books of the Eight Gates of the World. He had a deeper understanding of the Mystic Gate Technique.

Three days later.

Qi Ming left the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven.

He brought out all the sect masters.

The scene changed.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor, in the courtyard, space fluctuated.

Qi Ming walked out of the oval black vortex door that was about three meters in diameter.

Su Qimen was the first to appear. "Greetings, Young Master."

Shangguan Wenge appeared not far away like a ghost and walked over, "Young Master, how's the situation in the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven? It seems that you did not obtain anything."

"But it's fine, at that time, I'll go with you. I guarantee that I can help you completely subdue the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven."

Behind Qi Ming, one after another, figures appeared one after another.

They were the eight sect masters of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

"Master."

The Eight Sect Masters bowed to Qi Ming.

"This…"

Shangguan Wenge's expression froze on the spot, "This… How is this possible? Dao Integration! All of them are in the Dao Integration realm! Could it be that the eight sect masters of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven have all been subdued by Young Master?"

"Hahaha…"

Su Qimen was also shocked. He returned to his senses and immediately laughed, "I knew that Young Master is peerless in the world. It's only a mere Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. It's easy to subdue it."

"Congratulations to Young Master for subduing the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven." Su Qimen bowed.

"Congratulations… congratulations, Young Master…"

Shangguan Wenge could not calm down.

This was the Dao Integration realm.

They were true Dao Integration experts.

Now, Qi Ming had gone to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven for only four days. He had actually brought back the eight Sect Masters. Every one was a Dao Integration expert.

Qi Ming was only in the Nascent Soul realm!

Shocking.

It was simply too shocking.

This was much more shocking than defeating the late-stage Soul Formation realm Han Yun in front of everyone.

Qi Ming nodded and looked at the eight sect masters, "In the future, stay in the Heaven Secrets Manor and adapt to the surrounding environment in the next period of time."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Master, don't worry."

"…"

The eight sect masters said.

They were very excited now. After tens of thousands of years in the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven and reaching the Dao Integration realm, they had been affected by the grotto-heaven world. Coupled with the cultivation technique, it was difficult for their cultivation levels to increase.

They had always wanted to leave the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven and come to the Mystic World to broaden their horizons. They wanted to break through their current cultivation and reach a higher realm.

Above the Dao Integration realm was the legendary Tribulation Transcendence realm.

It was impossible to transcend the tribulation in the grotto-heaven world. One had to enter the Mystic World to welcome the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation under the witness of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

If they passed, their cultivation levels would naturally increase and step into a new world.

However, if they did not cross it, they would die and their Dao would dissipate, turning to ash.

There was no second possibility.

There was no such thing as their Nascent Soul escaping to become an Itinerant Immortal.

Failure meant death.

Of course, the Tribulation Transcendence realm was still too far for Qi Ming now. He was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and had not broken through to the Leaving Aperture realm. In the following period of time, while Qi Ming studied the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush, he was also AFK Farming and had always stayed in the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Chapter 157: Breakthrough to the Leaving Aperture Realm 40 Years Later!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Ming had already grasped the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush at the initial stage. The spirit of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven had been captured into the Heaven Secrets Book, so it was naturally completely under his control.

Next, he gradually became familiar with his control of the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush. He could smoothly use the power of the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush and also control the power of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.

His strength increased further.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, ten years later.

On this day.

Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

The spiritual qi of the heavens and the earth gathered, forming an extremely vast spirit cloud vortex. It spread out and enveloped the surroundings, and there was the sound of the heavens and the earth accompanying it.

Various phenomena occurred.

"Hahaha…"

The next moment, a loud laugh sounded.

Swish!

Han Yun came out of seclusion. He had been in seclusion for ten years and had broken through to the Dao Integration realm overnight. His strength had increased greatly, and his aura was surging like the sea.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Han Yun, for your breakthrough and successful Dao Integration."

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Han Yun for breaking through…"

"…"

Immediately, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain came to congratulate. In the blink of an eye, many people had already gathered. Even the two Grand Elders of the Soul Tempering lineage had arrived.

"Han Yun has entered Dao Integration."

Qi Ming naturally sensed it as well. He looked up and retracted his gaze. He did not pay too much attention to it, "It took ten years. Not bad."

Han Yun had been stuck at the late-stage Soul Formation realm for hundreds of years. Last time, she had even been in seclusion for a hundred years and had yet to break through. Therefore, after Han Yun came out of seclusion, he challenged the legacy disciples of the various lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

Although he had lost to Qi Ming at the end, he had profited from a disaster. During the battle with Qi Ming, he had grasped an opportunity and found the way to break through.

He had only been in seclusion for ten years and had reached the Dao Integration realm overnight.

His strength had increased greatly.

"Qi Ming!"

Boom!

At this moment, Han Yun stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. He looked in the direction of the Heaven Secrets Manor and shouted, "According to the original agreement, I've already broken through to the Dao Integration realm. In three days, I'll find you to spar again."

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

"This… this…"

"Senior Brother Han Yun is too vengeful. His cultivation level has already broken through to the Dao Integration realm. His strength has increased greatly. He's already different from before, but he still wants to challenge Legacy Disciple Qi, who is only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm."

"Senior Brother Han Yun lost to Legacy Disciple Qi last time. He wants to win back this time."

"That's right!"

"It seems that Senior Brother Han Yun is still upset about losing to Legacy Disciple Qi last time."

"That's right!"

"Legacy Disciple Qi is probably going to lose this time because Senior Brother Han Yun has already broken through to the Dao Integration realm. It's impossible for Legacy Disciple Qi to win this time."

"That's right."

The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain discussed animatedly and were quite emotional.

Three days later.

Swish!

Han Yun came and stood at the entrance of the Heaven Secrets Manor again. Around him, legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain gathered.

"Junior Brother Qi."

Han Yun looked at the tightly shut Heaven Secrets Manor with a calm gaze and said indifferently, "Three days have already passed. I wonder if you're ready?"

"Senior Brother Han Yun."

Qi Ming's voice sounded from the Heaven Secrets Manor and did not appear, "I won't attack this time. I'll let my spirit pet fight in my place. Let's wait until you defeat my spirit pet."

"You…"

Han Yun was stunned.

Roar!

The next moment, a dragon roar sounded from the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Boom!

Immediately after, with a rumble, the door to the Heaven Secrets Manor opened. A black shadow flew out. It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already appeared in everyone's vision.

Roar! Roar!

Black Flame appeared.

It circled above the Heaven Secrets Manor as the dragon body constantly enlarged. In an extremely short period of time, it had already become a Hornless Black Dragon that was ten thousand meters long.

The huge dragon head lowered slightly and stared at everyone present.

A vast dragon might enveloped the surroundings.

From head to toe, black dragon flames burned.

"You want to challenge my Master?"

Black Flame stared at Han Yun as the power of the late-stage Dao Integration realm was completely released. It pressed down on Han Yun's body, causing his scalp to go numb and he felt an immense pressure.

"This…"

Han Yun's gaze was frozen as he felt shock, "Late-stage Dao Integration, Qi Ming actually nurtured a late-stage Dao Integration spirit pet. Moreover, it's a Hornless Black Dragon that walks the path of the Dragon Transformation."

In the surroundings, everyone fell into shock. They were all stunned and dumbfounded. Especially when they sensed the incomparably terrifying dragon might on Black Flame's body, they were all speechless.

This situation exceeded everyone's expectations. No one expected that Qi Ming's spirit pet had already been nurtured to the Dao Integration realm.

At the beginning, Qi Ming's spirit pet was only at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm. Now, only a few decades had passed and it had already reached the late-stage Dao Integration realm!

It was too terrifying.

This was too terrifying.

Two figures tore through the air and stood not far away. The two of them were the Grand Elders of the Beast Control lineage of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. They were Daoist Azure Dragon and Patriarch Spirit Control.

"Hornless Black Dragon."

Daoist Azure Dragon was looking at Black Flame with a shocked expression, "It's indeed a late-stage Dao Integration spirit pet. There's no mistake. Moreover, this spirit pet's foundation is extremely deep. There's no superficial fluctuations."

"The only flaw is that this Hornless Black Dragon failed to establish a grotto-heaven blessed land so it cannot borrow the power of a grotto-heaven in battle. However, this is already very terrifying."

"Unbelievable."

Patriarch Spirit Control had a head of white hair, a white robe, and a youthful appearance, "Has Qi Ming's beast taming talent actually reached such a terrifying level? He can actually nurture a late-stage Dao Integration realm Hornless Black Dragon in such a short period of time. Moreover, there's no problem with its foundation."

"This is too shocking."

Then, the battle began.

Han Yun had just broken through to the Dao Integration realm and his cultivation level was only at the early-stage Dao Integration realm. Moreover, he had yet to establish a grotto-heaven blessed land. Facing the late-stage Dao Integration Black Flame, Han Yun was not its match at all.

After a few moves.

"Ah!!!"

Boom!

Han Yun screamed and was directly sent flying by Black Flame's Divine Dragon Tail. He spat out blood and fell to the ground, his injuries not light.

"Trash." Black Flame looked down at Han Yun and roared, "You want to challenge Master? How laughable. You can't even defeat me."

"You!!!"

Han Yun's face turned pale.

In the surroundings, the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain booed endlessly.

"Hurry up and leave."

Daoist Purple Firmament appeared. He frowned and looked at the Heaven Secrets Manor. With a wave of his right hand, he left with Han Yun, leaving only a group of spectators.

"Let's go, let's go…"

"Disperse."

"Senior Brother Han Yun broke through to the Dao Integration realm and challenged Legacy Disciple Qi again. In the end, he was defeated by Legacy Disciple Qi's spirit pet without even seeing him."

"Legacy Disciple Qi is truly unfathomable."

"As expected of the personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets!"

"…"

Not long after, news of Qi Ming nurturing a late-stage Dao Integration spirit pet and Han Yun losing to Qi Ming again quickly spread.

For a moment, Qi Ming's reputation reached the peak.

The Heaven Secrets lineage that had gradually declined seemed to show signs of warming up. Many legacy disciples were searching for the cultivation methods of the Heaven Secrets lineage in the inheritance hall.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Qi Ming.

After Black Flame displayed its powerful strength, it had already completely awed all the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. No legacy disciple dared to challenge Qi Ming again.

This way, Qi Ming was also happy to be free. He cultivated in the Heaven Secrets Manor every day and his cultivation level increased steadily. He could also obtain many things from the game dungeon every day.

Unknowingly, spring passed and winter came.

Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, at noon.

Ding!

"The Three Pure Dao Scripture has been cultivated for 40 years under the enhancement of a million times. Congratulations, host. You have comprehended the true intent of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the profundity of the Three Pure Dao Scripture. You have cultivated the Great Dao Essence Soul. You can fuse with your Nascent Soul or have it leave your body. Even if your body is destroyed, your Essence Soul will remain. You have already broken through to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming sat cross-legged. He entered that extremely profound state again. He felt that his consciousness was in an independent space.

Then, in this space, he constantly comprehended and understood the Three Pure Dao Scripture. Time passed quickly, and Qi Ming could not sense the passage of time at all.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years passed…

Finally!

Boom!

Qi Ming's entire body shook. He had comprehended the mystic technique of the Three Pure Dao Scripture and used it to condense his Essence Soul. The Heaven and Earth Great Dao True Intent fused into it and became the Essence Soul of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

The Heaven and Earth Great Dao Essence Soul and the Three Pure Nascent Soul fused into one.

At this moment, the Dharmic powers in Qi Ming's body exploded. All kinds of heaven and earth Dao sounds sounded. All kinds of heaven and earth phenomena appeared around Qi Ming. Flowers bloomed and golden lotuses surged on the ground…

This was only the beginning.

In the world, an incomparably vast phenomenon appeared. Above the Heaven Secrets Manor, a huge spiritual cloud vortex first appeared and constantly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, it had already covered the entire Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

It was still expanding.

Finally, it reached a radius of 300 miles.

The next moment, all kinds of phenomena appeared.

In the spirit clouds, the heaven and earth Dao sounds resounded in all directions, evolving into various strange and profound phenomena. The commotion caused by these worldly phenomena was more than ten times that of when Qi Ming broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

It was extremely shocking.

The entire Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain was alarmed. All the Grand Elders and Sect Master Yang Li of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain appeared again.. Even the three ancestors of the three major forbidden areas were alarmed, as if they were showing signs of awakening.

Chapter 158: New Game Dungeon: The First 33 Levels of the Tower of Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Extremely strange fluctuations came from the three forbidden areas. There was an extreme rotting aura, and faint fog spread out from the forbidden area.

Wherever this fog passed, everything withered. Life force and energy were all devoured. The space seemed to have rusted, and dark brown spots appeared. The surroundings became a ruined land, but the fog that spread out was blocked by an invisible force, stopping ten meters away from the forbidden land.

"This phenomenon is like ascending to immortality. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth follows it. Could this Qi Ming… be the child of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? Otherwise, why would this scene appear?"

"Chaos is about to rise, and there will definitely be monstrous geniuses…"

"Hahaha… As expected of my personal disciple…"

In the three forbidden areas, the voices of the three ancestors of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect sounded one after another.

The three ancestors who had sealed themselves in the three forbidden areas were indeed alarmed by the phenomenon created by Qi Ming, and they temporarily recovered.

Soon, they fell asleep again and did not wake up for long.

Gradually…

The fluctuation in the three forbidden areas slowly calmed down.

In the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Qi Ming's breakthrough had already reached the last moment. He had comprehended the Three Pure Dao Scripture and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Then, he used the Dao Scripture and mystic technique to condense the Heaven and Earth Great Dao Essence Soul.

Then, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao Essence Soul had already fused with the Three Pure Nascent Soul.

Qi Ming's consciousness and True Spirit could also be placed in the Nascent Soul. Moreover, they could leave his physical body and travel in the natural world. Moreover, he could control the power of the heaven and earth.

In his body, Dharmic powers surged.

It was endless.

Boom!

Qi Ming's entire body shook. His cultivation level had already successfully broken through to the Leaving Aperture realm. He was consolidating his Dharmic powers and realm, and the aura emitted had reached an even higher level.

Outside the Heaven Secrets Manor, the phenomenon caused by Qi Ming's cultivation breakthrough also reached its peak.

Everyone in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain looked up.

Exclamations sounded.

Their gazes and gazes could not help but look at the Heaven Secrets Manor.

"Heaven Secrets Manor, it's Heaven Secrets Manor again…"

"The source of the phenomenon is the Heaven Secrets Manor. In other words, this phenomenon was caused by Qi Ming."

"This… this…"

"The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth this time is at least ten times greater than before. Such a world shaking phenomenon covered an area of 300 miles. The Dao sound of the heavens and the earth resounded in all directions. It's extremely vast and truly shocking."

"So Qi Ming's cultivation level has broken through to the Leaving Aperture realm? Is this a phenomenon caused by Qi Ming breaking through to the Leaving Aperture realm? People who don't know might really think that someone has become immortal and is about to ascend to the Upper World."

"This is too shocking."

"Qi Ming has already caused such a huge commotion from the Nascent Soul realm to the Leaving Aperture realm. I really can't imagine what will happen when Qi Ming breaks through to the Soul Formation realm or the Dao Integration realm."

In the surroundings, the Grand Elders of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and the legacy disciples of the twelve lineages could not help but let out shocked voices.

Not long after, the phenomenon calmed down.

It gradually dissipated.

In the evening, many legacy disciples of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and the Grand Elders of the twelve lineages came to the Heaven Secrets Manor to visit Qi Ming one after another.

This time, they were really visiting, not like before. On the surface, it was a visit, but in fact, they wanted to find Qi Ming to spar.

Under such circumstances, Qi Ming opened the door and welcomed the legacy disciples of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. He also welcomed the Grand Elders very warmly.

Then, the Eight Sect Masters took this opportunity to appear in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. Eight late-stage Dao Integration experts attracted the attention of the twelve factions of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. The Grand Elders were also quite shocked.

"The Heaven Secrets lineage actually has eight late-stage Dao Integration experts."

"Why didn't I know this in the past?"

"This…"

"Could it be that the Heaven Secrets lineage is really going to rise again in Qi Ming's hands?"

"This is a good thing."

"The Heaven Secrets lineage has declined for a long time and has never been able to truly prosper. Moreover, the decline of the Heaven Secrets lineage has also caused the strength of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to decrease greatly. If the Heaven Secrets lineage can rise again, it's a very good thing for the Heaven Enlightenment Sect."

"That's right, that's right."

"At that time, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's strength will be even stronger."

The Grand Elders conversed secretly.

In the blink of an eye, late at night, the Grand Elders had already left.

As Qi Ming broke through, the AFK Farming Software also experienced a corresponding series of changes.

A notification appeared.

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation level has increased to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. The number of spirit stones needed for AFK Farming cultivation has increased by ten times. Every increase will cost 100 low-grade spirit stones."

"The consumption has increased by ten times again."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, even if it increases by ten times, I don't have to care because the number of spirit stones I obtain every day is completely sufficient."

Unfortunately, Qi Ming's aptitude did not change after this breakthrough. Only when the Three Pure Dao Scripture broke through to the Nascent Soul realm could Qi Ming's aptitude increase and transform his body and soul.

Ding!

"Because the host's cultivation level has increased to the Leaving Aperture realm, the highest amplification state of AFK Farming cultivation has increased from a million times to ten million times."

Another notification appeared.

"Okay."

The corners of Qi Ming's mouth curled up, "It has indeed increased by ten times."

"I'll charge 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and practice the Three Pure Dao Scripture." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Cultivating the Three Pure Dao Scripture under the enhancement of 10 million times…"

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming nodded.

Then, he consumed a large number of spirit stones one after another and began to cultivate the Book of Changes Scripture, the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques, the Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power, the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power, and the Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power.

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation level has already broken through to the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. The reward for clearing the late-stage Nascent Soul realm game dungeon, the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal Palace, will be greatly reduced. You can use 100,000 top-grade spirit stones to open the new game dungeon."

"Okay."

Qi Ming said, "Then immediately charge 100,000 top-grade spirit stones and activate the new game dungeon."

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"You can enter the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm game dungeon: The First 33 Levels of the Tower of Death."

A notification appeared.

"Enter." Qi Ming said.

In front of Qi Ming, the game dungeon scene and scene of the 'Tower of Death' appeared. It was as if it was real, as if he was in it, extremely real.

In the scene, darkness enveloped the ground.

Loneliness, darkness, withering, decay…

In the sky, there was an incomplete blood moon.

Below the Blood Moon, there was an incomparably huge pitch-black tower, but under the envelopment of the Blood Moon, it was dyed with a deep blood color, as if it was covered in a thin layer of blood.

On a closer look, this Tower of Death was 99 levels tall.

Now, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into arrived. It was a young adventurer holding a sword who walked to the front of this Tower of Death.

At the entrance of the pagoda, darkness surged and blood light flashed.

Then, a black shadow appeared.

This black shadow was the image of the legendary Death God. He was completely dressed in a tattered black cloak. Under the cloak was a black shadow with a skeleton. It was emitting thick black qi and carried a pitch-black Death Scythe.

"Adventurer."

The God of Death stared at Qi Ming, "Do you want to enter the Tower of Death?"

"Yes." Qi Ming replied.

"Okay." The God of Death said, "I wish you death."

"No need." Qi Ming replied.

Rumble!!!

The door opened.

It was pitch-black inside. If one walked in, they would be devoured by the darkness.

Qi Ming walked into the Tower of Death.

On the first level, what appeared in front of Qi Ming was a white-haired swordsman. He held a broad black sword and stood motionlessly in the center.

The white-haired swordsman was filled with the aura of death.

"You're here."

The white-haired swordsman opened his eyes, "But you shouldn't have come here. This is the home of death. Your arrival will definitely wake up all the spirits sleeping in the Tower of Death."

"You talk too much. Attack."

Qi Ming held the sword in his right hand and pointed it at the white-haired swordsman.

"As you wish."

The white-haired swordsman's gaze was calm as he stared at Qi Ming, "My name is Bai Liuyi. I'm the first opponent you encountered on the first level of the Tower of Death."

"Alright, I'll remember." Qi Ming replied.

Clang!

The next moment, Qi Ming drew his sword. He slashed out with his sword. The sword light was dazzling like a thunderclap. It was like a horizon line that appeared like the trajectory of the Sword Dao as it slashed at Bai Liuyi.

Pew!!!

The sharp sword light slashed through Bai Liuyi's body, and he froze on the spot. He did not even swing the heavy sword in his hand before he could no longer move.

Crack! Crack!

Immediately after, Bai Liuyi's body split open from the center, and dense death black qi surged out of the wound. He was stunned as he looked at Qi Ming, still shocked by the strike just now.

"I, Bai Liuyi, have comprehended the sword for three thousand years. Now, I've truly witnessed what the true Sword Dao is. I have no regrets in this life, I have no regrets in this life…"

Bai Liuyi sighed in shock, his body turning to ashes.

One strike.

It was a sword.

Qi Ming killed his opponent.

The first level of the Tower of Death was easily passed.

Next, Qi Ming headed to the second level of the Death Tower.

In the game dungeon, the first 33 levels of the Tower of Death, Qi Ming needed to go up level by level to defeat powerful opponents and heroic spirits. Only after passing the first 33 levels could he be considered to have cleared the first 33 levels of the Tower of Death.

Qi Ming followed the staircase and arrived at the second level of the Tower of Death. His opponent this time was a sexy and hot martial artist. She cultivated the martial path and had a tenacious will.

"Battle Sacred Body."

Boom!

Qi Ming roared and golden light flashed. The game character that he had transformed into used the power that Qi Ming had and attacked this opponent…

Chapter 159: Another Rare Spirit Pet

The battle erupted.

Qi Ming only used three punches to instantly kill this martial artist. He directly shattered this hot martial artist with his fists and exploded into a sky full of death black fog.

Next, Qi Ming headed for the third level, the fourth level, the fifth level…

He encountered expert spirits one after another.

In Qi Ming's hands, they could not even withstand a few moves before being killed by Qi Ming. He easily cleared the level and did not use any effort.

A day later.

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming in the game dungeon of the first 33 levels of the Tower of Death for a day. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have obtained: Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Heavenly Sword Scripture. 10 million top-grade spirit stones."

A notification appeared.

Item: Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Heavenly Sword Scripture.

Introduction: An inheritance crystal produced by the game dungeon of the first 33 levels of the Tower of Death. It is suitable for spirit pets who cultivate the Taiji Sword Dao. It can increase the growth and potential of spirit pets.

"Not bad."

Qi Ming said, "This Inheritance Crystal can be used to increase Huo Changqing's grade."

"Huo Changqing, come out."

Swish!

A white light flashed in front of him.

Huo Changqing came out of the spirit pet slot.

"Master."

Huo Changqing bowed.

Qi Ming said, "This is the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Heavenly Sword Scripture. You can use it now."

"Yes."

Huo Changqing was delighted and quickly accepted the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Heaven Sword Scripture. It fused into his body and a Taiji pattern appeared, enveloping Huo Changqing.

"Go."

Swish!

Qi Ming waved his right hand and put Huo Changqing into the spirit pet slot.

"I'll charge 10,000 top-grade spirit stones." Qi Ming said, "Let the elite spirit pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint undergo AFK Farming."

Ding!

"Charging successful."

"Elite Spirit Pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint will grow under the enhancement of 10 million times. He is fusing with the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Heavenly Sword Scripture…"

A notification appeared.

Qi Ming nodded slightly and closed the notification interface.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

Ding!

"The elite spirit pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Sword Saint has grown for a day under the enhancement of 10 million times. He has already perfectly fused with the Inheritance Crystal—Taiji Heavenly Sword Scripture, allowing him to further master the Taiji Sword Dao. This allowed his growth and potential to increase further and become a rare spirit pet: Shu Mountain's Taiji Heavenly Sword Saint. He can at most reach the late-stage Dao Integration realm."

This time, Huo Changqing's improvement was huge. He directly skipped a major class and became a rare spirit pet. Therefore, his growth and potential were almost comparable to Black Flame.

"Very good."

Qi Ming was naturally very satisfied.

"Master."

Huo Changqing appeared. He was dressed in a green robe, had a handsome face, and a pair of sharp brows. His hands were holding a very common Shu Mountain sword.

This Shu Mountain sword was no longer the same as before. Under the repeated advancements, the Shu Mountain sword was already Huo Changqing's intrinsic treasure. Its power was extremely powerful.

"Go and grow under AFK Farming." Qi Ming said.

Swish!

A white light flashed in front of him.

Huo Changqing entered the second spirit pet slot.

Consuming 10,000 top-grade spirit stones every day allowed Huo Changqing to grow rapidly under the circumstances of 10 million times. His strength and cultivation were almost changing every day.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

In the courtyard of the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Qi Ming's cultivation level had already reached the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. His control over the Heaven Secrets Book, the Heaven Secrets Brush, and the Heaven Secrets Manor had increased by a level.

Qi Ming could already open the second grotto-heaven now.

It was the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven.

Now, Qi Ming planned to enter the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven and take it.

"Young Master."

Su Qimen's expression was a little worried, "Are you really going to open the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven now? The Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven is the second opened grotto-heaven world. The danger inside might be much higher than the Wonder Sect's grotto-heaven."

"Activate it." Qi Ming said.

"Yes." Su Qimen nodded respectfully.

"Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, open!"

Su Qimen stood in front of Qi Ming. He waved his hands and runes immediately appeared. They danced like butterflies and gathered in front of him. Space fluctuated and gradually gathered, turning into a vortex.

Not long after, the entrance to the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven had already appeared.

It was also an oval black vortex about three meters in diameter.

"Young Master."

Su Qimen said, "The entrance to the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven has already been opened."

Qi Ming nodded and walked towards the oval black vortex in front of him. He instructed, "Su Qimen, Shangguan Wenge, you two guard here. Sect Master of the Eight Gates, follow me into the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The eight sect masters followed behind Qi Ming.

"Let's go."

Qi Ming walked in front and led the eight sect masters into the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven. Their figures disappeared into the oval black vortex.

The scene changed.

Qi Ming and the others had already arrived at the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven.

They had just arrived when the grotto-heaven spirit of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, Liu Yi, discovered Qi Ming and the others immediately. Moreover, the experts of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven also sensed it.

Half a day later, Qi Ming found a foothold in the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven. He used the Heavenly Observation to deduce the history and past of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven and learned everything about it.

"Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, Nine Palaces of the World."

Qi Ming opened his eyes. All kinds of information regarding the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven surged into his mind. He had already learned everything about it.

In the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, it was divided into eight prefectures and there were eight gates in the world.

In the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, it was divided into the Nine Continents and there were Nine Palaces.

The nine palaces in the world were: Qian Palace, Kan Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Central Palace, Xun Palace, Li Palace, Dui Palace, and Kun Palace.

Qi Ming now needed to find the grotto-heaven spirit, Liu Yi, and the Nine Palace Masters dominating the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven. This way, he could subdue the entire grotto-heaven.

"Heaven Secrets Book."

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the Heaven Secrets Book appeared. Light circulated as if the workings of the heavens were evolving. His left hand held the Heaven Secrets Brush and drew a line in the air in front of him.

Crack!

The space cracked.

Qi Ming's brush moved like a dragon as he wrote the words 'Liu Yi' in the space.

"Liu Yi, show yourself quickly." Qi Ming shouted.

In front, space shook, spiritual qi gathered, and energy surged.

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared out of thin air.

"Spirit of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, Liu Yi, greets the successor of the Heaven Secrets."

This was a young man in a black robe. His face was fair and clean, sharp like a blade. His features were clear and he was quite handsome. He bowed to Qi Ming.

He was the spirit of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, Liu Yi.

"Okay."

Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction. He held the Heaven Secrets Book and ordered in a low voice, "Spirit of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, Liu Yi. Aren't you going to quickly enter the Heaven Secrets Book?"

"Yes."

Liu Yi glanced at the Heaven Secrets Book in Qi Ming's hand. He sensed the fluctuation of the Heaven Secrets Book, the aura and energy of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, and the eight Sect Masters beside Qi Ming. Liu Yi did not hesitate for long before immediately entering the Heaven Secrets Book and fusing with it.

"Very good."

This way, Qi Ming was even more satisfied.

In the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, Qi Ming had been plotted against by the Eight Gates Sect Masters and the spirit of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, causing him to be trapped in the village. As for the Spirit of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven, it was much more obedient and saved Qi Ming a lot of effort.

"Liu Yi." Qi Ming said, "Next, cooperate with me to subdue the Nine Palace Masters."

"Yes."

Liu Yi's voice sounded from the Heaven Secrets Book.

In the blink of an eye, seven days later.

Qi Ming spent a lot of effort. With the help of Liu Yi and the help of the eight sect masters, he subdued the Nine Palace Masters of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven.

Qi Ming spent a lot of time finding the Nine Palace Masters.

Of course, a battle was naturally unavoidable.

The Nine Palace Masters were all at the late-stage Dao Integration realm. Their strength was not weaker than the Eight Gates Sect Masters. Moreover, they had also cultivated the Hidden Armor technique to the peak of Perfection. In turn, they had evolved the Hidden Armor Nine Palace Formation. Its power was not weaker than the Mystic Gate Village.

Qi Ming's strength was naturally stronger. Coupled with the help of the Eight Gates Sect Masters and spirit of Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven, as well as the help of Liu Yi, it was easy to deal with the Nine Palace Masters.

Qi Ming used seven days to obtain the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven.

This way, on the second page of the Heaven Secrets Book, the pattern of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven appeared. Moreover, it was divided into the nine palaces of the world. On them were the names of the Nine Palace Masters.

In other words, Qi Ming could now control the power of both the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven and the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven.

His strength had increased further.

On the eighth day, Qi Ming led the Eight Gates Sect Masters and the Nine Palace Masters out of the Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven and returned to the Heaven Secrets Manor. Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge welcomed Qi Ming's triumphant return.

"The Hidden Armor Grotto-heaven has been captured too." Shangguan Wenge sighed with emotion, "He only used seven days to do it."

"Young Master is indeed peerless in the world." Su Qimen said.

Next, Qi Ming did not have anything important to do.

He basically spent his days on AFK Farming cultivation.

He felt his cultivation rising steadily. Moreover, being immersed in cultivation and comprehending the profundities of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao was a wonderful enjoyment.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years later.

On this day, it was not far from the day of the next legacy competition. There was still about half a month left. Therefore, the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect became lively again.

In addition, Qi Ming received a message from Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan. A hundred years had passed, and Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan's cultivation levels had risen to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

This time, they would all participate in this legacy competition.

"The legacy competition."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and put down the letter in his hand, "A hundred years have passed so quickly. In other words, I'm already 142 years old."

"Time passed so quickly."

"On Earth, with my 142-year-old age, I'm afraid I can shock the entire world, but in the Mystic World, it's only the beginning."

"My current cultivation level is at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. My lifespan is almost 4,000 years."

"What?"

Suddenly, with a thought, Qi Ming sensed something and immediately sat cross-legged. He directly circulated the mystic technique Future Sight and combined it with the three Lesser Divine Powers to derive the heavenly mysteries.

Immediately after, the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush appeared.

The power of the Heaven Secrets was applied to Qi Ming.

"This is…"

Not long after, Qi Ming deduced what he wanted to know, and his eyes revealed a serious expression, "Something major will happen in this legacy competition!"

"It seems that I have to make a move again."

Chapter 160: Myriad Ghost Cave

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Twenty years had passed. Although Qi Ming's cultivation level had not broken through to the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm, he had cultivated the Divine Sword Lightning Manipulation Technique, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power, the Mystic Gate Divination Divine Power, the Five Elements Cycle Divine Power, and all of them had reached the highest level of the Profound realm, reaching the limit.

Everything was perfect.

Apart from that, the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Embryo, the World Piercing Sword, the Sword Mountain, and the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book had all been refined to the level of top-grade Leaving Aperture realm treasures.

In addition, the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-six Techniques had also improved further, breaking through the limit of the Small Success realm. Currently, it had barely reached the Large Success realm. Naturally, its power had increased greatly.

The next day, at noon.

Qi Ming walked out of the Heaven Secrets Manor and flew into the sky. He arrived at the Penglai Immortal Mountain and stopped in front of the Sect Master Hall. The door opened automatically and Sect Master Yang Li's voice sounded from inside.

Come in." Yang Li said.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Qi Ming nodded and walked into the Sect Master Hall. This time, Qi Ming did not see a paradise-like space. Instead, he saw an ordinary courtyard.

Yang Li's Sect Master Hall was the same as the Heaven Secrets Manor. They were both extremely powerful Dharma treasures. They formed a space inside and were set up with layers of array formations.

Qi Ming walked along the corridor and arrived in front of the hall. He pushed open the door and walked in. He looked up and saw Yang Li with his back facing him.

Yang Li did not turn around and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to me?"

Qi Ming bowed and said bluntly, "Yesterday, I had a feeling. Therefore, I used the divine power technique Master taught me to deduce the heavenly mysteries."

"Half a month later, something major will happen in this legacy competition, so I specially came to inform Sect Master. I hope you can make preparations early to avoid unnecessary tragedy."

Yang Li turned around and looked down at Qi Ming with a sharp gaze, "Really?"

"Yes." Qi Ming nodded, "This is absolutely true."

"Tell me about it." Yang Li said.

"Speaking of which, the mastermind behind this is still the immortals of the Central World."

Qi Ming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The immortals of the Central World occupy the last Central Divine Mountain that has not collapsed."

"In this legacy competition, the immortals will use others to target the Heaven Enlightenment Sect."

"At that time…"

Qi Ming's tone paused for a moment. "It will cause our Heaven Enlightenment Sect to fall into a passive situation. Moreover, it will also cause the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks to suffer heavy losses."

"The Immortal Race…" Yang Li frowned and pondered for a moment, "Qi Ming, you should know that even if your talent is extremely high, and have proven your strength in many battles…"

"I can't jump to conclusions and make a decision just by listening to your one-sided words. Moreover, this matter concerns the immortals of the Central World, so it's even more serious."

"This is because ever since the end of the Near Ancient Era a hundred thousand years ago, after the immortals occupied the Central World, their influence no longer affected the four regions."

They were silent for a long time.

"Sect Master." Qi Ming said, "It's because they've been silent for a long time. Therefore, this time, their attack will be earth-shattering and also the beginning of a storm that will sweep through the world."

"I understand." Yang Li sat down, "Tell me in detail."

"Yes." Qi Ming nodded.

Then, Qi Ming told Yang Li what he had deduced about the future. As Qi Ming explained, his expression darkened slightly and became solemn.

This matter was very serious, and it was a huge matter that swept through the entire Mystic World.

Moreover, this was only the beginning.

Qi Ming had only deduced the tip of the iceberg of this matter.

Many details were still shrouded in mysteries.

Half a day later, Qi Ming left the Sect Master Hall.

He returned to the Heaven Secrets Manor.

Half an hour later, figures tore through the air and came from all directions. They were the Grand Elders of the twelve lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

They all entered the Sect Master Hall.

"I've already done my best."

Qi Ming returned to the Heaven Secrets Manor and looked at the location of the Sect Master Hall of the Penglai Immortal Mountain, "Although I have indeed deduced many things, many things are still filled with fog. I can't really see them clearly."

"I can't tell Yang Li everything."

"No matter what." Qi Ming continued, "I've already done what I had to do and told Yang Li everything I know and can tell him. As for what the Heaven Enlightenment Sect will do, whether Yang Li will believe it or not, and to what extent he will make use of this information, it's not something I can control."

"Moreover…"

Qi Ming calculated with his fingers, but there was already a hazy fog in front of him. The heavenly secrets were already in chaos, "After I took action, the future I deduced had already changed, and it became even more confusing."

He would deal with whatever came his way.

Qi Ming was not too afraid.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The Heaven Enlightenment Sect held the legacy competition again.

The rules of this legacy competition were similar to the last legacy competition that Qi Ming had participated in. The first round was the puppet screening segment, and it eliminated legacy disciples with insufficient strength and cultivation.

After the puppet screening, it would be the true legacy competition.

This time, Qi Ming walked out of the Heaven Secrets Manor and headed for the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's legacy competition. He saw Feng Zimu, Miao Hongjian, Lü Qingyan, Yuan Feng, and Xiao Fan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Around the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's legacy competition.

The twelve floating palaces rose.

In the Green Cloud Floating Palace.

Swish!

Qi Ming tore through the air and arrived at the Green Cloud Floating Palace.

"Legacy… Legacy Disciple Qi…"

"Greetings, Legacy Disciple Qi."

"…"

In the surroundings, the Leaving Aperture Elders of the Green Cloud Peak in the Green Cloud Floating Palace bowed to Qi Ming respectfully.

Qi Ming was a legacy disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. Coupled with the fact that Qi Ming's cultivation level was already at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm, these inner sect elders were very respectful.

Qi Ming nodded.

"Junior… Junior Brother."

Lü Qingyan's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Senior Sister." Qi Ming smiled lightly, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Lü Qingyan calmed down. "Junior Brother, your cultivation level has increased again."

Qi Ming said, "I'm already at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm."

"Congratulations."

Feng Zimu walked over, "I didn't expect you to come for this legacy competition."

"That's right." Miao Hongjian said, "I'm also quite surprised that you came."

"Legacy Disciple Qi."

Fairy Feng Xi and the other eight legacy elders of the Green Cloud Peak shouted.

Qi Ming nodded in response to Fairy Feng Xi and the other eight legacy elders of the Green Cloud Peak. Then, he bowed to Feng Zimu and Miao Hongjian, "Master, Peak Master."

"I've cultivated in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain for more than a hundred years. My cultivation level has increased greatly, and I've experienced many things. A hundred years have passed, and the legacy competition will be held again. Therefore, I came to take a look." Qi Ming said.

"That's good."

Feng Zimu and Miao Hongjian looked at each other.

"Right."

Feng Zimu said, "Qi Ming, I've long heard that you received the favor of Patriarch Heaven Secrets in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. Patriarch Heaven Secrets even woke up because of this and specially took you in as his personal disciple."

Qi Ming nodded, "I'm indeed Master Heaven Secrets' personal disciple now. However, in my eyes, you'll always be my master as well."

"Haha…"

Feng Zimu laughed and said, "I don't dare to snatch a disciple from Patriarch Heaven Secrets. Qi Ming, I'm already satisfied that you think this way."

"That's right."

Qi Ming said, "I did not obtain your permission and privately entered Patriarch Heaven Secrets' tutelage and became his personal disciple. I'm very ashamed."

"You don't have to be ashamed."

Feng Zimu waved his hand, "In the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, all the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks will experience something like you as long as they can enter the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain through the legacy competition. They will definitely want to join one of the lineages of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. I originally thought that you would join the Green Cloud lineage, but I didn't expect that you would actually alarm Patriarch Heaven Secrets."

At this moment, while conversing, the legacy competition this time began.

The person presiding over this legacy competition was not Daoist Azure Dragon, but Daoist Martial Saint of the Body Tempering lineage. There were also two Grand Elders. They were the Beast Control lineage's Patriarch Spirit Control and the Sword Dao lineage's Patriarch Life-Killing.

Sect Master Yang Li was also present.

"The puppet screening begins." Daoist Martial Saint shouted.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The next moment, beams of light landed and teleported all the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks away from the palace square of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect's legacy competition into an independent space.

It was still a familiar scene.

Every legacy disciple had to face a puppet that had reached the Nascent Soul realm. They had to defeat the puppet and pass three tests before they succeeded.

At this moment, Qi Ming sensed Daoist Martial Saint's gaze. After the first round of puppet screening began, Daoist Martial Saint glanced at Qi Ming.

Not only that, Patriarch Spirit Control and Patriarch Life-Killing also glanced at Qi Ming.

Qi Ming returned the greeting to the three Grand Elders quietly.

It could be considered a gaze exchange.

Not long after, the first round of puppet screening ended.

A total of 358 people were eliminated. Only 218 people were eliminated in the legacy competition that Qi Ming participated in. This time, there were 140 more people than last time.

It was even stricter and more difficult.

Finally, 859 legacy disciples passed the screening.

Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan passed.

Yu Xuelan also passed this screening.

Their ranking was not high.

The top three were not in the Green Cloud Peak. The first was the legacy disciple of the Numinous Sky Peak, Feng Qingyun. The second was the legacy disciple of the Martial Illumination Peak, Luo Wudi. The third was the legacy disciple of the Golden Root Peak, Luo He.

As for the other legacy disciples, Qi Ming did not pay too much attention to them.

"Okay."

Daoist Martial Saint came out. He presided over this legacy competition and looked at all the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, "The eliminated legacy disciples can leave."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"…"

The 358 legacy disciples had not reached the Nascent Soul realm and were all at the Core Formation realm. They naturally could not pass this puppet screening.

Additionally, they were all teleported away and arrived at the surrounding twelve floating palaces.

"In this legacy competition, you will be teleported to the Myriad Ghost Cave. The Myriad Ghost Cave is in the Western Region, at the border of the Western Region and the Southern Region."

Daoist Martial Saint said, "The deepest part of the Myriad Ghost Cave is connected to Nine Nether.. Chaotic ghosts from Nine Nether will appear."
