Gathering Immortal Qi

His black hair, like ink, danced wildly above the sky. With a handsome and elegant demeanor, Ye Ming stood high in the heavens, surrounded by an aura of dense spiritual energy, wisps of which coiled around him.

Streams of light, accompanied by illusory figures of dragons and phoenixes, emerged, all enveloped in golden radiance. Immortal Light ignited like candle flames...

This was the Immortal Qi that only true Prodigies of the world could manifest upon entering the Dao Palace Realm.

One wisp, two wisps, three wisps, four wisps, five wisps...

In the blink of an eye, five wisps of Immortal Qi had manifested around Ye Ming, and it didn't stop there; the spiritual energy continued to gather.

Within the Forbidden Zone, all eyes were fixed on this scene.

"Hahaha... five wisps of Immortal Qi in just a few breaths!"

"This is only the beginning. It seems our judgment was correct; seven wisps of Immortal Qi are absolutely guaranteed!!!"

"With our Imperial Son in this generation, our Primordial Forbidden Zone will once again be invincible in the world!"

At this moment, voices echoed from the sky. These were the Ten Elders of the Forbidden Zone, their gazes filled with excitement as they watched the spectacle...

Manifesting five wisps of Immortal Qi was already incredibly powerful. In previous eras, a Prodigy with five wisps of Immortal Qi could have dominated an entire age.

Yet, Ye Ming, just after breaking through, had already surpassed countless renowned Prodigies and prodigies of all ages. His Immortal Qi continued to be born...

"Impossible..."

At this moment, Liu Mingyue, witnessing this, had a look of shock in her beautiful eyes. Originally, according to her estimation, it would be good if Ye Ming could manifest five wisps of Immortal Qi in the end, but now, he had already reached that point just as he entered the Dao Palace Realm...

Recalling her own breakthrough, only one wisp had manifested within her. Even with the countless resources of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, she had only managed to manifest four wisps in the end.

Even so, Liu Mingyue had received praise from the elders of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, who considered her one of the most powerful Prodigies in the Flying Immortal Sacred Land's endless history.

Her destination couldn't even compare to his starting point. At this moment, Liu Mingyue felt utterly defeated.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, in the sky, Ye Ming's body shone with unparalleled brilliance, emitting myriad rays of light. The Immortal Light around him surged, and another wisp of Immortal Qi was born from within him. This was the sixth wisp, and it still hadn't stopped; it continued to grow.

"Hahaha, excellent!"

The elders, seeing this, had smiles blooming on their aged faces!

Boom!

The seventh wisp of Immortal Qi appeared.

At this moment, immortal mist surged around Ye Ming. His tall, imposing figure was flawless, radiating myriad rays of light, incredibly brilliant. Standing in the sky, every inch of his skin contained Immortal Light, shimmering with radiance.

His black hair, like ink, fluttered in the void. Within his deep eyes, Dao light surged, like the eyes of a god, instilling awe...

At this moment, the entire Forbidden Zone was in an uproar.

"Hahaha, our clan's Imperial Son will possess the aura of a Great Emperor in this generation!"

"As expected, just as this old man predicted, seven wisps of Immortal Qi!"

"Hmph! The people from Dragon Emperor Ridge were boasting to me earlier about how powerful their Dragon Son was, manifesting seven wisps of Immortal Qi in the Dao Palace Realm, destined to be invincible in this world."

"Now, our Forbidden Zone's Imperial Son has also manifested seven wisps..."

At this moment, ancient voices echoed, filled with shock and excitement.

One wisp of Immortal Qi already marked one as a Prodigy of the world.

Two wisps of Immortal Qi meant their names were renowned throughout the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.

Three wisps of Immortal Qi were generally found only among the Holy Sons and Dao Sons of some Sacred Lands, like Long Hao and Lin Jian, whom Ye Ming had previously devoured.

Four wisps of Immortal Qi were considered top-tier even among the various Holy Sons. Liu Mingyue, possessing the Cold Spirit Physique and benefiting from the Flying Immortal Sacred Land's endless investment, had barely reached four wisps of Immortal Qi in the Dao Palace Realm.

Five wisps of Immortal Qi were already the mark of a Prodigy who had suppressed an entire era in previous times. It was only in this Golden Age, with the descent of numerous supreme physiques, that they didn't seem as powerful.

Six wisps of Immortal Qi were rumored to have been possessed by some Great Emperors in their youth when they were in the Dao Palace Realm.

As for the seven wisps of Immortal Qi that Ye Ming now possessed, throughout the long ages, only truly forbidden Prodigies and the youths of invincible Great Emperors could have achieved this.

Therefore, the current loss of composure shown by the elders in the Forbidden Zone, who were in the Saint Realm, was the most normal reaction.

They seemed to be witnessing the rise of an invincible Great Emperor...

"Seven, seven wisps of Immortal Qi, how... how is that possible???"

A voice rang out, clear and melodious like a flowing spring. It was Liu Mingyue. Her curvaceous figure rose and fell violently, her voice trembling. Her phoenix-like eyes gazed at Ye Ming in the sky, lost in a daze...

Liu Mingyue had only seen Prodigies with seven wisps of Immortal Qi mentioned in the ancient texts of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land. It was rumored that an invincible Great Emperor had manifested seven wisps of Immortal Qi in his youth, suppressing all the Prodigies of that era with his invincible might, ultimately achieving emperorship.

When she recalled this, Liu Mingyue's heart trembled. To suppress all the Prodigies of an era – what kind of spirit was that? If she could follow such a figure, her life would have no regrets.

Now, the person with such legendary talent had appeared, right before her eyes, and was none other than the enemy who had killed her entire family and had forcibly...

"Seven wisps of Immortal Qi, feels like nothing special!"

At this moment, an untimely voice sounded. It was Ye Ming, who pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with merely manifesting seven wisps of Immortal Qi.

As these words left his mouth, the entire Forbidden Zone fell into a profound silence, from the heavens above to the earth below.

"Ugh..."

Witnessing this, the Ten Elders collectively gasped, unsure of what to say.

Good heavens, what others wouldn't even dare to dream of, you've made a reality, and yet you're still not satisfied.

The First Elder, Mo Ao, a cultivator at the Great Saint Realm on the verge of stepping into the Quasi-Emperor realm, felt his mouth twitch uncontrollably.

He recalled his own breakthrough to the Dao Palace Realm. He had only managed five wisps of Immortal Qi, and with that, he had bragged to anyone who would listen about his grand feat.

Compared to Ye Ming now, he felt his entire life had been a waste.

This is too damn disheartening.

"Haha, I distinctly remember our First Elder boasting quite a bit about his breakthrough to the Dao Palace Realm back then. Why the silence now?"

An ill-timed voice cut through the air. It was the Sixth Elder, Blood Soul, grinning widely.

"Old Six, it's been a while since we sparred, hasn't it?"

With a face like ice, Mo Ao turned his gaze towards this "Old Six"...

BOOM!

Just then, as everyone in the Forbidden Zone thought the seven strands of Immortal Qi were Ye Ming's limit.

Endless Immortal Spirit Qi began to converge and envelop Ye Ming, incredibly vast and surging like a tide!

At this moment, the entire Forbidden Zone trembled under this aura.

"Th-the eighth strand of Immortal Qi?"
