All Parties Gathered

Qin Ming's words were absolutely true. He had just seen an ancient Grandmaster walking towards him, wielding Great Spear that stirred up the dark clouds in the sky, causing lightning to fall. His unparalleled majesty was earth-shattering.

Unfortunately, the Overlord did die in the end, and it was a very tragic death. After stabbing the Old Senior's pale hand until it was covered in blood, he was locked by the other party's golden Immortal Patterns. The Old Senior, who was famous throughout the Night Mist World, struck him six times from a distance, corresponding to the Overlord's limbs, torso, and head. Each strike caused a part of the Overlord to explode.

In the instant before his skull shattered, the Overlord remained silent, glaring angrily, his eyes shooting out two golden bolts of lightning.

However, the white-haired, youthful-looking Old Senior gently wiped away the incoming lightning bolt with his jade-like hand, causing it to dissipate into nothingness.

The Overlord's cultivation level was lower than that of his Old Senior, yet he was able to injure a powerful figure from Beyond the Mundane, causing his right hand to bleed. Over a hundred years ago, this feat was considered a great shock to all.

After the Overlord died, the crimson blood he left on the ground emitted a light that lingered for a long time, like clusters of inextinguishable divine flames. Finally, the Old Senior stepped down, turning that area into scorched earth, and all the strange phenomena completely disappeared.

Before this, the Overlord was able to escape all the way and write down his masterpiece was due to his extraordinary abilities, but it was also related to the Old Senior's unhurried pace.

"I saw some hope on this road and wanted to do something for future generations. I wanted to leave behind what I saw and heard, write down my insights, and pave a path for those who come after me, hoping they can go further than I have."

This is why, even after being severely wounded and fleeing, the Overlord still wanted to write down all that he had learned in his life.

In fact, he had poured his heart and soul into writing it, but the Old Senior tore off half of the book, read it, and then tore it to shreds, turning it into ashes.

The blood-stained black animal hide book before them was personally thrown out by that Old Senior, who wanted to see who would study it and whether the Overlord still had any relatives, friends, or disciples.

"A century of vicissitudes has passed, and everything has returned to dust. The Overlord is left with only regrets, and his legacy has been broken. But that Old Senior is still alive and high above, and in recent years he has begun to take on disciples again."

Qin Ming naturally dared not say these words aloud, but could only sigh in his heart.

At the same level, in most cases, those Beyond the Mundane People can suppress those on the New Life Path, but the Overlord was able to attack those above him from below, which many people in that era considered "defying the heavens"!

One of the Beyond-Mundane Disciples spoke up, "Although the Overlord was brave, he eventually passed away. In just over a hundred years, few people know of him anymore, while that Old Senior is still as powerful as ever. This is the difference between immortals and mortals."

Tang Xumi nodded and said, "That makes sense. We should strive to be on par with our predecessors, Near-Immortal, Truth Seeking as soon as possible!"

Then, he placed the two-inch-tall jade jar in Qin Ming's hand and said, "Brother Li, are you injured? You can take this medicine to strengthen your Essence, Qi, and Spirit." "I'm fine," Qin Ming politely declined.

Tang Xumi forced it on him, which meant: You have something to do.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Qin Ming realized it wouldn't be right to refuse. This wasn't just accepting a spiritual medicine, but rather a form of recognition and acceptance; it wouldn't be good to turn back now.

Tang Xumi smiled and said, "Brother Li, is this your first time visiting Luofu City? Let Junior Sister Li show you those ancient sites; they're worth seeing. We'll be leaving now so as not to disturb your enjoyment. Let's get together another day."

"Are all Beyond the Mundane People this enthusiastic?" Qin Ming had a good impression of the Elite Disciple; without them, he might not have been able to access the Overlord's Testament. "Tang Xumi isn't inherently bad, but he's not as simple as he seems. He's testing me," Li Qingyue said.

By this time, they had arrived on the street and were heading to the ancient architecture area for a meal.

Li Qingyue said, "This jade jar is made of a special material and carries a wisp of Tang Xumi's Consciousness Spirit Light. Once placed in your hand, it will soon seep into your flesh and blood."

Qin Ming was startled, but he felt no discomfort. His mind was highly focused, and in an instant, his special resonance ability came into play, allowing him to detect a faint light at the bottom of the jar.

"He doesn't know that I've cultivated a special Spirit Eyes and seen that ray of light. He wants to see how long it takes for me to become aware of the light after it enters your body," Li Qingyue said. If she remains unaware, then after entering that Spirit Cave, Qin Ming will be used by Tang Xumi for location tracking, and will be clearly perceived within a certain range.

Then, she showed a surprised expression and said, "Your Heavenly Light Force is very special, or you could say it's extremely powerful. It actually blocked his Light of the Mind." Qin Ming naturally knew what was going on. At this stage, his Heavenly Light was full of spirituality and could automatically protect his body, keeping mosquitoes away and dust off his body hair.

"My Heavenly Light Force is indeed remarkable. If I place this jar on my body, I'm afraid I might accidentally shatter that Light of the Mind." He took out his Jiao Armor and temporarily wrapped the jade jar around it.

Qin Ming said, "I thought he was being enthusiastic and trying to curry favor with you through me. I thought he was a kind and honest person. I never expected that he would have his eyes on me."

Li Qingyue nodded and said, "To rise among the Beyond-Mundane Disciples, he's definitely not an honest person. We're both hot contenders for Near-Immortal artifacts, so it's normal for us to test each other."

Qin Ming said, "Later, we'll buy a bird that's a little bit intelligent, release it after entering the Spirit Cave, and let Tang Xumi become a bird-chasing boy." "That's feasible."

"Hey-hey."

Then, Li Qingyue solemnly told him that this time, Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple might have been invited, posing a great threat to the Golden Armor Guard.

"Tathagata Force lineage?" Qin Ming was genuinely astonished. Ever since embarking on the New Life Path, he had paid close attention to this lineage, as he had often heard people mention it, and it was a household name.

Li Qingyue shook her head and said, "He's not a true successor. It's said he was expelled after only learning the basics, but I've heard he's integrated other Heavenly Light Force and is still extremely powerful, capable of injuring those Beyond the Mundane People."

"Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple by Buddha, he only learned the basics, but I'd like to see him for myself," Qin Ming said, then asked who else was a formidable figure among the Golden Armor Guard. "Cui Chongxuan, your younger brother is not to be underestimated. He has mastered the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, and after achieving a minor level of mastery in his technique, his strength is quite domineering, capable of injuring even those Beyond the Mundane People." The Six Imperial Heart Sutra is a legendary text that even those Beyond the Mundane People are somewhat wary of.

When Qin Ming was at the Cui Household's house, he was less than three feet away from that book, but he was unable to turn the pages.

This time, Cui Chonghe was unable to participate because some old fogies in the Beyond the Mundane decided, after discussion, that only disciples who had joined the sect in the last three years would be allowed to compete. Their reasoning was simple: the competition among the new disciples was controllable, and even if there were accidents, bloodshed, or casualties, it wouldn't cripple any sect.

"If senior disciples are allowed to participate, then we old guys might as well have a duel ourselves. That Near-Immortal artifact is quite special now, most suitable for younger disciples." Upon hearing the news, Cui Chonghe immediately went to find his master. How could he be considered a senior disciple?

Although his master was renowned throughout the Night Mist World, there were others in the Beyond the Mundane who could rival him, and his opposition had no effect.

Cui Chonghe desperately wanted the legendary item in the Spirit Cave, so he mentored a junior brother and personally helped him obtain the Yin Yang Great Medicine to enhance his strength.

Even Cui Chonghe brought along his own younger brother Cui Chongxuan, for that item. Cui Chongxuan's Six Imperial Heart Sutra could injure those Beyond the Mundane People and break through others' Heavenly Light Force! Li Qingyue said, "This time, senior disciples are not allowed to participate. There are also age restrictions for the Golden Armor Guard accompanying the new disciples; they must also be teenagers."

Otherwise, would any scion of the Aristocratic Clan dare to invite their elders to accompany them?

Qin Ming asked, "Even so, aren't some of the young Golden Armor Guard already Outer Saint?"

Li Qingyue nodded and said, "Most of them have just stepped into the External Manifestation realm, and a few who have cultivated special Heavenly Light Force may still be in the New Life realm." "Isn't that the lowest realm?" He felt a little ashamed.

Li Qingyue smiled faintly and said, "You started late, only just embarking on the New Life Path, but I heard from Uncle Meng that you have immense potential. I will protect you this time, only needing your help when fighting against the invasion of the Heavenly Light."

Qin Ming was no longer calm. He had only come temporarily to serve as the Golden Armor Guard; how could he let Li Qingyue protect him?

Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple, and Cui Chongxuan, who had practiced the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, could injure those Beyond the Mundane People and break through others' Heavenly Light Force. Qin Ming felt that his own was no less formidable. The two ate some local delicacies and then headed towards their lodgings.

"How can I let you take me? I should take you back to the inn first," Qin Ming said with a hint of helplessness.

"There are many Beyond the Mundane People here, and their methods are unpredictable. You haven't yet entered the Consciousness Domain, so you're easily spied on. Let me take you back to the inn first," Li Qingyue said. It was inevitable that Qin Ming would attract the attention of some people after walking with her.

With Meng Xinghai at the inn, she felt at ease, as long as nothing happened on the road.

Qin Ming was escorted back to the inn by the beautiful and refined Li Qingyue, which attracted frequent glances and astonishment from some young people.

After Qin Ming returned, he began to study the Overlord's Testament. In the early stages, it was not particularly outstanding, but after reaching the Spirit Field Realm, complex changes appeared. Although he could not yet practice it in depth, he already knew that it was a treasure, of immense value, and worthy of his serious attention in the future.

In the courtyard, Qin Ming wielded Bronze Staff instead of Great Spear spear, moving it with the speed of the wind, as if he could split mountains and cleave seas, piercing the night.

"This kind of Wind Force is quite special; it must have incorporated other energy techniques."

In the beast-hide book left by the Overlord, the early training mainly focused on Wind Force and Overlord Force, Qin Ming had been practicing day and night.

Over the next two days, Li Qingyue accompanied Qin Ming to explore Luofu City, visiting various historical sites and tasting many local delicacies.

During this period, Qin Ming was also studying those two special techniques, especially the strange and Overlord Force. He had already comprehended something extraordinary about it. In the early stages, it was not obvious, but after being combined with the Spiritual Field, it was destined to be extremely terrifying.

"The early stages aren't difficult to learn; the real challenge lies in the various variations that follow." Qin Ming had initially mastered two types of Heavenly Light Force. "It's time to set off." Meng Xinghai was very pleased to see him still diligently practicing in the inn.

"Where is my golden armor?" Qin Ming asked, already dressed in Jiao Armor, carrying twelve short spears on his back, a bow and arrows, and a Bronze Staff. "They're all at the Luofu Mountain Ruins," Meng Xinghai replied, accompanying him.

On this day, Luofu Immortal Town was incredibly lively. Disciples from various sects had arrived, along with the inheritors of some Blessed Land, whose disciples numbered quite a few. "Beyond-Mundane Disciples have gathered in Luofu Immortal Town; a fierce competition is about to begin!" The news spread far and wide. Now, countless people were paying attention to this contest, which had already been hotly discussed for many days.

"No rush. We'll officially set foot on the Immortal Mountain Ruins and enter that Spirit Cave tomorrow morning," Meng Xinghai said. Li Qingyue had been called away by her sect members, who were going to give her various reminders and guidance.

Luofu Immortal Town is located next to the ruins. There are Fire Spring and a large number of ancient building remnants, giving it a strong sense of history.

Qin Ming saw several familiar faces, including Cui Chonghe, Wang Caiwei, and Zheng Maoze. In addition, he also saw Li Qingxu again after more than two years. He didn't pay much attention to them, returned to his room in the Immortal Town, and began to tease a Spirit Sparrow, waiting for his turn to enter the next day.
