Everyone made their move
A layer of spiritual Heavenly Light Force flowed around the boy's body, making him appear exceptionally ethereal and clear, as if he were a transcendent Near-Immortal.
Zheng Maoze was sent flying, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, as he crashed to the ground, groaning in pain. He looked quite disheveled, and given his nickname "Zheng Dazhuang"), he didn't seem like Beyond the Mundane People at all.
His emanating Consciousness Spirit Light was distorted, burned through by the fist's light, unevenly distributed, and not as vibrant as before, appearing quite dim.
His body was in excruciating pain. After being punched, the sound of his bones cracking was like popping beans, lasting briefly, and it wasn't just one or two bones breaking. Everyone was shocked; the boy's movements were too fast, like a bolt of lightning.
Qin Ming's Heavenly Light Force contracted back into his body, his fingers becoming as clear as jade. He looked quite otherworldly; if it weren't for the fact that his right fist was still clenched, people would doubt whether he had actually thrown such a violent punch.
Zheng Maoze gathered his Consciousness Spirit Light and examined his own condition. He spat out another mouthful of blood; all eighteen of his bones were broken. He was so angry that he vomited blood. He had just launched his attack, but he had been beaten instead? He was Beyond the Mundane People, yet he had been beaten to a pulp by the Golden Armor Guard he looked down upon. The young man looked tall and slender, but Zheng Maoze felt as if he had been solidly stomped on by an enormous Dragon Elephant.
Many Beyond-Mundane Disciples showed surprise but did not step forward to help Zheng Maoze. They felt that what the young man said was true and that he was likely a direct descendant of the Six Royal Force. Otherwise, how could his Heavenly Light Force be so domineering? The fist light swept past, shattering Zheng Maoze's Consciousness Spirit Light.
Those Beyond the Mundane People believe they can look down on those on the New Life Path, but there are a few exceptions whom they dare not underestimate, including lineages such as the Sky Supporting Force, the Tathagata Force, and the Six Royal Force. This is because the Heavenly Light cultivated by these lineages can harm them.
Although these lineages may encounter slow progress and gradual improvement in strength later on, some old masters, through the accumulation of time, are eventually able to climb to a rather formidable height.
"Sorry, I just came down from the mountain and lack experience in real combat, so I'm a bit nervous." Qin Ming said, his voice gentle, not at all like the domineering power of his fists. Upon hearing this, Zheng Maoze almost spat out blood again. A novice coming down from the mountain, making him the background character, it was really not a glorious thing to say if word got out.
Clearly, the Beyond-Mundane Disciples have temporarily accepted Qin Ming's special identity; the successor of the Six Royal Force can sit at the same table with them, and he is not merely Golden Armor Guard.
The reason Qin Ming immediately combined the three Extraordinary Art and eighteen kinds of Heavenly Light Force was mainly because it was his first time fighting against someone from Beyond the Mundane People had reached the Yellow Court Realm, and he dared not be careless. Although he was forced to reveal his true strength slightly, he felt very relieved after throwing a punch, because the two Zheng Family brothers had been too arrogant since his accident.
First, there was Zheng Maorong, who, relying on his status, did not personally show up but instead used his eyes and a faint smile to incite others to harm Qin Ming.
Later, Zheng Maoze targeted Qin Ming at Black White Mountain, ostensibly showing affection but actually highlighting the vast difference in their social status. In the end, he even joined Zeng Yuan in blocking Qin Ming from leaving, waiting for Li Qingxu and Wang Caiwei to arrive so they could watch a good show.
Therefore, after Qin Ming threw a punch, every pore on his body opened up, and he looked radiant. Then he looked at his old friend Zeng Yuan. "Brother, could you do me a favor?" Qin Ming smiled.
Zeng Yuan was quite wary of him. Even though Zheng Maoze had been careless just now, the Light of Consciousness was no exaggeration; it was extremely dangerous. He calmly asked, "What is it?"
Qin Ming's right hand was pressed against the ground, and with the flowing Heavenly Light, he used the Adhesion Force to pull up some bright red blood, keeping it from touching his fingers, and letting it flow outside the Heavenly Light.
Qin Ming was very polite and said, "Since everyone is contributing a drop of Pure Yang Blood Essence, I shouldn't be too special. Could you help me refine this blood? You should be able to accumulate a drop of Pure Yang Blood, right?"
Zeng Yuan was stunned. He never expected that the so-called help would involve asking him to do such a thing. This was utterly absurd. He now believed that this person was most likely a disciple who had just come down from the mountain and was completely clueless about human relationships.
How could he possibly agree? Didn't he see Zheng Maoze's eyes practically blazing with fury? He looked like he wanted to devour someone!
Qin Ming stared at him and said, "Pure Yang Blood is precious right now, and everyone is putting in the effort. Are you just going to let it go to waste underground?"
Zeng Yuan sensed that although the man remained calm, a dangerous aura emanated from him. Could this naive novice also be planning to punch him? His hair stood on end. How could he possibly dodge at such close range? The Six Royal Force was renowned throughout the Night Mist World; he didn't want to be hit for no reason.
So he ignored Zheng Dazhuang and naturally took the blood, refining it into Pure Yang Blood on the spot.
Qin Ming wouldn't actually lay a hand on him; he was just using his identity as a "reckless disciple" of the Six Royal Force lineage to scare him. He had punched Zheng Maoze earlier because the latter wanted to hurt him.
Even a direct descendant of the Six Royal Force Forces would be targeted by the Beyond-Mundane Disciples if he attacked without a reason. Pfft!
Zheng Maoze coughed up blood again because he saw Zeng Yuan refine his blood; with a hissing sound and wisps of smoke rising, only a drop of true blood remained.
"Brother, are you alright?" Qin Ming asked him with concern, and reiterated that he was flustered by encountering a master of the Yellow Court Realm, and had no intention of hurting anyone. Zheng Maoze really wanted to say: Shut up!
The repeated mentions were truly hurtful to his pride and severely damaged his confidence in Near-Immortal. Qin Ming went over and helped Zheng Maoze up.
In some people's eyes, he really gave the other party a way out and saved face.
Zheng Maoze didn't want to say anything to him. He used his Consciousness Spirit Light to support his severely injured body and staggered to the side.
Without making a sound, Qin Ming used his Adhesion Force to draw out the blood that Zeng Yuan had spat out and silently delivered it to Zeng Yuan.
For a moment, many people's gazes towards him changed. Was he a genuine hothead, or was he deliberately trying to provoke Zheng Maoze? Something was wrong with this successor of the Six Sovereigns. Zeng Yuan was in a bind. What kind of mess was this, that inexplicably fell on him!
The Core Disciple naturally wouldn't object; the more Pure Yang Blood, the better.
When Zheng Maoze turned around and saw this scene, he was so angry that he coughed violently. He quickly covered his mouth, afraid that blood would drip onto the ground. He was filled with hatred and gritted his teeth. That hothead was truly inhuman!
Although the collection of Pure Yang Blood Essence was not without its twists and turns, it ultimately did not encounter significant resistance. Many of the Golden Armor Guard were followers of the Beyond-Mundane Disciples. Only a few of the Outer Saint did not provide blood; these were individuals of considerable importance who had indeed been invited to assist, and had no obligation to do so.
Qin Ming noticed that, besides some Beyond-Mundane Disciples looking at him, several people who practiced special techniques had also lingered on him. These included Chen Shuhang, who had mastered the Five Colors Thunder Light Force, Jiang Congyun, a successor of the Pure Yang Palace, and a young man who seemed to have practiced the Jade Clarity Force.
Although they were all walking the same path, Qin Ming was likely to be the first to clash with these people, as they were more resistant to the Heavenly Light in the deep pit. As time Pass By, everything was ready.
Some vessels, such as jade jars and crystal bottles, originally used to store elixirs, are now filled with Pure Yang Blood, vividly red and radiant with a glowing light, clearly sacred objects. Their spiritual value is extremely high, and when combined with some special medicinal herbs, they can be used to refine Great Medicine!
Streams of Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light, hazy like mist, converged to resemble a relatively gentle small Solar Yang. When selecting Outer Saint to enter the bottom of the giant pit, there were some minor ripples. Who was most suitable to go in was naturally already identified. However, this journey could be extremely dangerous; who could guarantee that the presence of Pure Yang Spiritual Matter would ensure their safety? Qin Ming came into the sights of some Core Disciple, all wanting him to step in and help retrieve the Near Immortal Object.
He shook his head reservedly, but his refusal wasn't entirely complete.
Because he genuinely wanted to go in, and he was somewhat uneasy if no one accompanied him, he wanted to check on the Near Immortal Object's condition to prevent anyone who went in first from tampering with it. "Although our Beyond the Mundane doesn't specifically collect various martial arts techniques, the Scripture Pavilion occasionally contains one or two..."
Hu Tingwen, Tang Xumi, and several other Core Disciple secretly negotiated terms with Qin Ming, offering him a special martial arts technique. "I want a Extraordinary Art," Qin Ming said.
"Perhaps it exists, but it's gathering dust somewhere, and we probably won't find it anytime soon."
In closing, they promised to help Qin Ming find a powerful Cultivation Method. Although it wouldn't be Extraordinary Art, it would certainly be quite famous, for example, they had seen a fragment of the Divine Ape Force Technique.
Finally, the candidates were chosen: Chen Shuhang, who possessed the Five Colors Thunder Fire Force, Jiang Congyun, a successor of the Pure Yang Palace, and Qin Ming would go to the central location to retrieve the Near Immortal Object. Meanwhile, successors of the Five Elements Palace and the Jade Clarity Force would provide backup at the rear to ensure everything went smoothly.
Although Qin Ming felt somewhat uncomfortable, he still smeared Pure Yang Blood Essence on his armor, making his entire body bright red and flowing with dazzling rosy light. Chen Shuhang chose to protect his body with Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light, while Jiang Congyun used a combination of methods, with the blood he smeared carrying Consciousness Spirit Light.
In a sense, the three of them were also guinea pigs to see which one worked best, and the others could adjust based on the feedback.
At the bottom of the giant, bowl-shaped pit, the intense Heavenly Light was incredibly dense, like divine fire burning. Smoke could be seen rising continuously from the armor of the three people. Both their Pure Yang Blood Essence and Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light were being constantly consumed, but they were indeed useful, and for now, they seemed to be able to support them as they walked in.
"Don't you two have any other ideas? Can't we comprehend that Near Immortal Object, or perhaps borrow it temporarily?" Jiang Congyun asked. His sect was very famous, and he had been specially invited to help with the fight. Although his Pure Yang Force was not as powerful as the Six Royal Force, it was still renowned in the Night Mist World. "Hmm, we can study it first," Chen Shuhang agreed.
Qin Ming nodded in agreement. There was no need to confront them directly; he had long known that those willing to risk coming in first all had their own purposes. "Perhaps there are some good things scattered Near-Immortal artifacts," Jiang Congyun smiled.
Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. The Pure Yang Palace behind him was quite ancient and still a colossal entity. Perhaps it knew some of the secrets of this place. They were running frantically, not daring to waste any time. They were not far from the center of the giant pit, and could vaguely see auspicious clouds rising and Immortal Mist swirling around them.
Qin Ming became cautious, though he was confident, he still wanted to avoid any accidents. Boom!
Above the sinkhole, a fierce battle erupted among the Core Disciple, who suddenly began to fight.
Tang Xumi, Su Jingzhu, Jiang Shengyu, and Luo Qingge had originally broken ties, but no one expected that the four of them would join forces again to attack Hu Tingwen and Sun Jingtian. The result was unexpected; Hu Tingwen and Sun Jingtian were prepared and quickly retreated, fleeing in one direction without suffering serious damage.
The four pursued relentlessly, seemingly eager to eliminate the two. The other Beyond-Mundane Disciples chose to stand by and watch, remaining neutral.
The unfolding events left the Elite Disciple speechless once again. During the chaotic battle, as the six masters approached the crowd, they simultaneously launched an attack on one of the Elite Disciple. Shockingly, this previously unknown disciple possessed unfathomable strength, unleashing a dazzling five-colored light that instantly severely injured Luo Qingge, sending her flying. Cui Chonghe, his eyes deep and his face cold, was caught completely off guard by the attack. He knew that this time, he had most likely missed his chance to Near Immortal Object forever.
Li Qingyue's eyes were clear. As a Golden Armor Guard, she chose to remain uninvolved and observe the battle. At the bottom of the deep pit, Qin Ming had already seen the Near Immortal Object; they had arrived at their destination.
Chen Shuhang unleashed his Five Colors Thunder Fire Force, the thunderous roar deafening and terrifying. Jiang Congyun's Pure Yang Force was even more domineering, instantly shattering the dense Heavenly Light nearby. Qin Ming was also forced to intervene, once again displaying the prowess of Teenage Grandmaster.
