Stepping into legend

In the spacious hall, numerous crystal chandeliers are pure and flawless, each containing Sun Stone that refracts brilliant light.

Before the sandalwood table, acquaintances and old friends reminisce over wine. The jade cups, illuminated by the Fire Haze, gleam with a warm luster, and the fragrant wine reflects dappled light and shadow.

Over drinks and laughter, they reminisced about the past and talked about the future. Time flies like water, and the faces are still familiar, but not entirely the same as before.

The young have all grown mature, their worldly wisdom and stories unfolding with each toast; even the once naive young girls are now elegant and graceful.

Qin Ming saw off an old friend as he left home.

Meng Xinghai, reeking of alcohol, waved to a group of acquaintances, whether out of genuine emotion or feigned.

After returning, Qin Ming's drunkenness subsided, his eyes regained their clarity, and he prepared to study the <Yi Wood Scripture> and <Abiding World Scripture>, eager to improve his strength.

In the Night Mist World, one's own strength is the foundation that sustains everything.

Meng Xinghai said, "Don't rush to practice. You need to find a highly skilled old monster on the New Life Path to study it. If the Cultivation Method has flaws, it could easily cause serious problems."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "I'll take a quick look." Actually, he was fairly confident in judging the authenticity of the scripture. This was because the handwritten copy, which he had shown Mo Xiang, had left behind a considerable emotional impact.

Qin Ming soon learned that it was Cui He's "resentment." Old Fourth Cui didn't want others to see the Cultivation Method he practiced, so he copied them himself.

"This Yi Wood Scripture does have some flaws. Although the defects are not obvious, it will definitely be difficult to perfect it if you practice it like this." Qin Ming corrected and resonated with the correct passages of the scripture.

As expected, one shouldn't practice Cultivation Method of unknown origin casually. The <Abiding World Scripture> also had some problems, which Qin Ming manually corrected. Not only that, he also resonated with Cui He's "resentment" to create an additional page of scripture, increasing it from six pages to seven.

Unfortunately, Cui Laosi's negative emotions far outweighed his contemplation of the scriptures. Qin Ming studied the Zu Shi Jing (Abiding World Scripture) and found it very profound; his current cultivation level was insufficient to practice it, requiring him to first master the * Yi Wood Scripture * (Scripture of Wood). He could sense that this scripture was quite extraordinary, offering unique insights into prolonging life, extending lifespan, and maintaining one's peak condition.

Although it doesn't cover as many areas as the "Life Altering Scripture," it does have similarities, and we can perhaps verify each other's work and practice them together in the future.

Three days later, Qin Ming noticed that his jet-black hair had been tinged with green. His expression immediately stiffened. Would his internal energy become glowing green like Huo He's when he used it in the future?

He tried to integrate it with the Silk Book Method and found that there was no problem with the unified Heavenly Light Force, which relieved him.

"It's been a while since I returned from Luofu Immortal Mountain. Once my body has fully recovered, I can consider my Seventh New Life!" Qin Ming was very much looking forward to it. With each physical transformation, his strength would increase significantly.

He was assessing his own Heavenly Light Force. He had once fought with Cui Chongxuan, who practiced the Six Royal Force, when he had just mastered the <Li Fire Scripture> and <Golden Cicada Scripture>.

When I mastered two Extraordinary Art, my Heavenly Light Force underwent a qualitative change, enabling me to suppress Huo Chongxuan, who had only mastered One Royal force. According to him, in the New Life Realm, only those Otherworlder of the Six Royal Lineage who master two levels of defensive force are considered qualified.

Qin Ming pondered that, judging from this, he would need to practice at least four Extraordinary Art during his New Life stage in order to be no weaker than the legendary internal energy techniques!

Of course, this is just the most basic superposition; he did not consider the fusion and conflict of various Extraordinary Art.

He traded the "Li Fire Scripture" and Tathagata Disciple Xiang Yiwu, for the "Wu Ji Scripture," and now he has obtained the "Yi Wood Scripture," thus completing his collection of four Extraordinary Art.

As for the * Life Altering Scripture *, it's a rare book that prolongs life and enhances one's fortune, so its effect on the Grand Light Force is probably not significant. "Ning Huanqi, who sent me the * Li Fire Scripture * from afar, has been incredibly helpful," Qin Ming murmured. Without the Li Fire Scripture *, he wouldn't have obtained the Wu Ji Scripture, and his transformation within the Mountains and Rivers Spirit Nest wouldn't have been so complete.

Next, he diligently practiced the "Yi Mu Jing" (Yi Wood Scripture) to prepare for the next round of New Life.

Qin Ming has won twenty consecutive matches, meeting the requirements to enter the Six Sovereigns and can go there to undergo trials. Meng Xinghai found someone to retrieve the "Golden Book" for him. Not long ago, he was still busy running around trying to decide where to go, competing against the "number one" from different cities. Now he has two "Golden Book" in his hands and is suffering from decision paralysis. Meng Xinghai said, "As far as I know, the latest standards for accepting disciples for the Six Sovereigns, Sky-Pillar, Jade Clarity Sect, and other lineages have all been relaxed. Even those who are not Otherworlder can compete for the position of core disciple."

It is said that this is because those with extraordinary comprehension can Exerted Effort later on, or have ways to improve their innate talent and change their destiny. Qin Ming said, "These great sects and Ancestral Court are all taking action, either releasing Top-Tier Disciple abroad or rapidly expanding, all in order to..."

Let's prepare for the Great Opening.

In recent days, Meng Xinghai has heard a lot of news: the Beyond the Mundane and the Esoteric Sect are also actively recruiting top geniuses.

He handed some documents to Qin Ming and said, "The Jade Clarity Sect, Sky-Pillar, and Six Sovereigns lineages all require two assessments to select the final Core Disciple, and each assessment offers benefits, attracting top talents to participate."

Several lineages have similar conditions and seem to be cooperating with each other to avoid vicious competition. Qin Ming humbly asked him which lineage was more suitable. Old Meng also frowned, because it was really hard to judge.

He sighed, "In this era of great expansion, all the major sects seem to desperately need Otherworlder and top talents, as if the more the better. I'm just afraid that when the Great Pioneering Era arrives in the future, some of them will become cannon fodder. We have to consider this carefully." Moreover, some major sects are almost becoming training grounds for their descendants. If they are all Core Disciple, the allocation of resources will definitely be biased, with some favoritism and some difference between them.

Qin Ming said, "Looking at it this way, specialized universities aren't bad." Meng Xinghai said, "Since we still have time, let's look into it further."

The next day, he brought new information: the assessments for several powerful lineages were showing some progress. Meng Xinghai smiled and said, "We can take advantage of them first, and then make a final decision!"

"The initial assessments of Sky-Pillar, Jade Clarity Sect, and Six Sovereigns will all provide some Heavenly Light Force Techniques, their unique classic texts, to test whether the registered geniuses are suitable for their paths." Several lineages say that their assessment grounds contain extremely rare Spiritual Matter, and whether one can obtain them depends entirely on one's own strength. This can be considered a benefit given to the participants. Qin Ming, who is about to undergo his Seventh New Life, was immediately excited upon hearing this news.

Meng Xinghai laughed and said, "The Spiritual Matter in the Ancestral Court of great sects is definitely much stronger than that outside. It's worth looking forward to. Don't risk going to the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall recently." Qin Ming immediately nodded. Going to the legendary sects to learn the Grand Light Force Technique and obtain Spiritual Matter would be worthwhile, even if he didn't ultimately choose that place. He was genuinely curious about the Ancestral Court of the Six Sovereigns, Jade Clarity Sect, and Sky Bearing Sect, and wanted to delve deeper into them. If he could resonate with some of the scriptures, he would make a huge profit!

"When does it start?" Qin Ming asked, eager to go immediately.

Meng Xinghai informed him that they would have to wait a few more days. He then took out six small cloth bags and handed them over, saying, "Here, these bags are full of Fallen Fruit."

He knew that Qin Ming's foundation was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he was afraid that when Qin Ming fused with the Heavenly Light Force for the seventh time, the bag of Fallen Fruit he won from Qi Daoming in Chase Light City would not be enough.

He made a fortune recently, and some of these Fallen Fruit were lucky draw prizes, while others were bought with Day Gold. Uncle Meng and I won't thank him."Qin Ming accepted them.

He has already comprehended the <Yi Wood Scripture> and has also mastered the Lesser Yang Force, Dragon Claw Force, Intercepting Metal Force, and Wind Fire Force. He is just waiting to integrate them with the Fallen Fruit after his Seventh New Life.

The Fallen Fruit Mother Tree took root in the Great Light Pool, and all that was extracted from it was the essence of the Great Light of the World, which was almost condensed into a "liquid" and had amazing "medicinal effects".

In the days that followed, Qin Ming actively "prepared for battle," making various preparations. Whenever he circulated his Yi Wood Art, his hair would turn a faint green.

In addition, he asked Meng Xinghai for help to polish some Jade Iron and Exotic Metal into weapons.

The Overlord frame was dismantled by Li Qingyue. Its essence was Black Jade Iron, and the total amount was not much. These fragments could be used to forge a dozen or so arrowheads.

Qin Ming felt that the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber, which was slightly shorter than his arm, was still quite easy to use, so he didn't add Black Jade Iron to it for reforging this time.

Then, he solemnly took out a small piece of pure white, flawless, and warm- Exotic Metal, which at first glance resembled Mutton Fat Jade Iron, but was more...

It is more understated, containing an inexplicable Divine Charm. The Eight Trigrams Furnace, Near Immortal Object, is cast from a mixture of various Exotic Metal, including this snow-white, Exotic Metal:

Qin Ming dug a handful of gold from the bottom of the giant pit, but afterwards, those old monsters collected them and only gave Li Qingyue one purple and one white piece. Now, he and Li Qing Yue each have a piece of Exotic Metal.

A few days later, Qin Ming had twelve more Jade-Iron Arrow, but only the arrowheads. They were made of Black Jade Iron, dark and with a jade-like luster, but extremely dangerous.

In addition, he had an extra pendant, about the length of a thumb, pure white and crystal clear, shaped like a small sword without a handle, or somewhat like a cone, with a sharp tip.

The priceless weapon made of Exotic Metal is extremely rare; even a small piece is hard to find. It can Heavenly Light Force, Consciousness Spirit Light, and Divine Wisdom, and requires extremely powerful methods to block it.

The reason it took several days to polish this time was mainly because it was extremely difficult. Relatively speaking, the very rare Black Jade Iron was shaped into an arrowhead on the same day.

Meng Xinghai was a little envious and reminded him, "This pendant is many times more valuable than all the Jade Iron weapons you have combined. Don't lose it by accident."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "If Uncle Meng likes it, then take it."

Meng Xinghai shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? I'm a grown man, why would I remember your things?"

In the past few days, Qin Ming felt that his body had fully recovered, and he could even undergo his Seventh New Life without any problems. He looked forward to entering the legendary Ancestral Court of the great sect. Finally, the latest news arrived: the Six Sovereigns would be the first to begin assessing disciples. "This is quite a coincidence. The Cui Household won't think I'm deliberately going against them, will they?" Qin Ming began packing his belongings.

The Six Sovereigns held a transcendent position, and their mountain gates were located within the territory of the Great Yu Dynasty. No one dared to cause trouble around them, making them awe-inspiring to all beings. The distance from Red Haze City to the location of the Six Sovereigns was approximately five thousand li.

This time, Li Qingyun personally came forward and used his Flying Mount to send him over.

Ahead, the mountains rise and fall, shrouded in Immortal Mist, with spiritual light appearing and disappearing. Each mountain peak is like a dragon's head extending from the ground. Putting aside everything else, the area of Six Royals Mountain Gate alone is extraordinary.

Li Qingyun said, "Perform well, and I hope you can seize some opportunities. It is said that once you master the Six Imperial Heart Sutra to the final stage, even the great figures of the Beyond the Mundane will be wary of it." He had already sent Fifth Master Cui back, and looking at that old face, he was also tired of it. Mainly, he had almost sent Qin Ming into the Six Royals Ancestral Court, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Master Li, don't worry. Whether I stay here in the end or not, I certainly won't embarrass you." Outside the Six Royals Mountain Gate, many people had already gathered, many of them young faces, all having traveled from various parts of Night Mist World.

A top-tier prodigy.

Recently, the name Qin Ming has been circulating among the ancient aristocratic Aristocratic Clan, causing some members of the Cui Household to become particularly concerned. When they learned that Qin Ming had entered the Six Royals Ancestral Court, some of their expressions changed.

The following day, Cui Changqing, the core figure of the Cui Household and one of the actual power holders, the elder brother of Fifth Master Cui and the Second Master Cui Changqing of the Cui Household, personally ascended the Six Royals Mountain Gate.

He was Beyond the Mundane People with immense strength. He also practiced the "Abiding World Scripture" to prolong his life. He possessed long, emerald-green hair, a fair complexion, no wrinkles, and showed no signs of age.
