A happy outcome for all

A blue raptor came to fetch Qin Ming, shouting from a distance, "Brother Qin, he's a bird, don't shoot arrows!"

On the way here, it was a little scared, afraid of being accidentally killed. Recently, rumors have been circulating in the bird world that this boy shoots birds on sight, which is really too ferocious.

Qin Ming smiled, waved to it, and reassured it not to be nervous.

The Azure Raptor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and circled down to the ground, but it trembled again when it saw its spoils. First, the Black Peng king's sharp claws caught its eye!

Then it saw the Fire Kirin Lion, the Mountain Ape, the Brocade Finch, and the Blade Art Master Huang Yuan... Feathers, fur, and fangs covered the ground, gleaming brightly.

This is outrageous, it sends chills down its spine! Those are all ancient demons! "Are you a local Bird Demon?" Qin Ming asked.

"Brother, no, Your Majesty, although I am a native bird, I have long since abandoned the darkness and embraced the light. Recently, I have been following the orders of the White Peacock King, patrolling various regions, and I have absolutely never done anything immoral!"

The Azure Raptor was truly terrified, thinking that this Gods and Devils -like boy was also going to punish it. Its beak was trembling, and it almost bit its own tongue.

The wind howled as the Azure Raptor carried Qin Ming and his spoils to the city a hundred miles away, its body tense and barely daring to breathe.

Birds of prey are not allowed to fly directly into the city, or they will be shot dead by the giant crossbow bolts inside the city.

Qin Ming entered the city with a large amount of spoils, attracting the attention of many people, and all the truly experienced adventurers and hunters were shocked.

"So young, yet he's already slain so many ancient demons. What's his background? He's most likely Otherworlder that the Six Sovereigns are grooming!" "Young and promising, with a bright future ahead. Could the declining Six Royals Ancestral Court be on the verge of a revival?!"

At the Six Sovereigns' encampment, Zhou Tao, White Peacock, and Black Crane have all returned and are "checking accounts," engaging in a serious discussion.

The White Peacock said, "During this assessment, two experts tried to eliminate the young Otherworlder from the Cui Household. Could it be that they were trying to sow discord between the Millennium Aristocratic Family and the Six Sovereigns?"

Zhou Tao was taken aback and asked, "Are you talking about Cui Chongxuan or Qin Ming?" "Cui Chongxuan received preferential treatment twice."

The White Peacock replied that it was in charge of the several Otherworlder.

Then it added, "Qin Ming, Zhuo Ya, and Cao Wuji were each targeted once." Black Crane replied, "Things were more relaxed on my end; nothing unexpected happened."

The group of teenagers it was monitoring were not Otherworlder.

"There's been no movement deep within the God's Fall Plain," Zhou Tao said, his eyes fixed on the severely superhuman beings shrouded in the night fog. He then sighed, wondering how he would apologize to those old folks when he returned.

The White Peacock comforted him, saying, "Just go back and tell the truth. The Strange Medicine itself is a reward. Within the rules, if someone has the ability to obtain it, that's their skill."

Zhou Tao was agitated and said, "Four Otherworlder came. It's normal for them to pick one or two plants, and even two or three would be acceptable. But one of the boys acted like he was buying goods, harvesting vegetables in the field with a sickle!"

Black Crane exclaimed in surprise, "In today's declining world of the New Life Path, there is still such a brilliant and talented young man? I need to take a closer look later." White Peacock said with utmost solemnity, "Elder Zhou, you should be happy. The Six Sovereigns are corrupt and decadent, and you may be fortunate enough to witness the rise of a restorer!"

"I know what's important," Zhou Tao nodded.

The White Peacock said, "The area you arranged for him this time is almost at the red line zone; it's too difficult."

Zhou Tao said, "It's not beyond the scope yet. The Silver Wolf King, Black Peng, and Fire Kirin Lion aren't on the list. He only needs to eliminate one Donkey Demon. I didn't expect him to be so righteous and fight so passionately. I heard he almost lost his life to kill those old demons one by one?"

The White Peacock nodded and said, "Yes, the specifics are unknown. He shot and killed all nine Bird Demon I tamed." Zhou Tao nodded. If the White Peacock was unwilling to talk, he wouldn't get any more details even if he pressed for more information.

Qin Ming noticed that the young disciples at the Six Sovereigns' encampment all looked shocked when they saw him. Some opened their mouths as if to say something, but then closed them again.

Some of these young disciples came from the Zhou Family lineage, while others were grand-disciples of other high-ranking elders. They came to assist with the assessment and, incidentally, to take a look at the "Strange Medicine." How could their expressions not change? They felt as if the sky had fallen and the medicine had been razed to the ground!

They knew very well that some of their highly regarded junior brothers and Junior Sister had already reserved the priceless wild "Strange Medicine," and this one had been snatched away!

Elder Zhou was understandably furious, given the many interests involved.

A group of teenagers returned one after another, resulting in a loss of over a dozen members. Despite being instructed to act within their capabilities and not to intervene if they couldn't handle the demons listed in the case file, some still risked their lives and perished.

Zhou Tao sighed, first lamenting the death of the young man, then encouraging the group of energetic young people who had returned, saying that they were the future of the Six Sovereigns.

This time, he greeted each boy very formally and inquired in detail about the demon-slaying process.

Besides him, there were also experts at the Six Sovereigns Garrisons' encampment who showed up, showing great concern for these young elites and holding a banquet to welcome them back.

The White Peacock and Black Crane, now shrunken, also arrived at the scene, paying special attention to the several Teenage Aberrant, but their main focus was actually observing Qin Ming.

Because this one is too special. Ninth New Life, yet he has been a powerful old demon for many years. Such a record is more suitable for those seeds in the Ancestral Court who have learned the Six Royal Force.

The two Higher Aberrant were unaware that Qin Ming was only Seventh New Life.

"Could he have studied the Six Imperial Heart Sutra with Huo Chongxuan?" Black Crane wondered.

It was a banquet. Those who survived had all passed the test, and they all smiled, raised their glasses, and got to know their future fellow disciples.

Clearly, many people are well aware of their place Core Disciple, and they've opted to settle for being Elite Disciple instead.

Many people have now heard that the young Qin Ming is brave and incredibly kind. He has helped others across different fields, such as Zhou Lei and Huang Cheng, who have both benefited from his care. He is truly worth befriending.

Indeed, when people learned of his achievements, it felt like a dream—it was simply too terrifying!

In fact, the battle results they knew were severely exaggerated because Zhou Tao had someone kill Qin Ming, telling him it was a way to protect him.

Zhou Tao frankly stated that in order to avoid the outside world finding out, Qin Ming, the Heavenly Prodigy had killed Six Sovereigns in advance, nodded, feeling that Elder Zhou's consideration was quite thorough.

Zhou Tao's feelings were incredibly complicated. He did have his own motives this time, because his uncle Zhou Shize had mentioned that it was appropriate to give top performers more challenges and training so that they could achieve great things in the future. He had even mentioned Qin Ming's name, but also solemnly reminded him not to cross the line and to act within the rules.

"We'll talk again later." Zhou Tao turned and left. He couldn't show favoritism; he still needed to check on the three Teenage Aberrant: Zhuo Ya, Cao Wuji, Cui Chongxuan.

"You are all unpolished gems. As long as you master the Six Royal Force, you can defeat anything, from White Flood Dragon to Golden Rhinoceros, with your foundation!" Zhou gave them the strongest confidence right from the start.

Cao Wuji's eyes immediately lit up. What he lacked most was Cultivation Method that was famous throughout the Night Mist World. He had the potential of an Otherworlder, but he did not have the Heavenly Light Force to match it.

Qin Ming was also listening attentively and pondering carefully: in the New Life stage, could the Six Royal Force be trained to the level of Child Control?

Qin Ming had fought Cui Chongxuan at Luofu Immortal Mountain and had heard him say that becoming Otherworlder in the New Life stage required mastering two defensive techniques to be considered a success.

This "success" must mean passing the test. Is it possible for someone to master the Three Imperial Force in the New Life realm? Qin Ming frowned as he thought about this.

If this is the case, he cannot be complacent and needs to work hard to improve himself.

Because when he combined two Extraordinary Art and more than ten kinds of Guan Guang Jin, he could suppress Cui Chongxuan, who had mastered the One Royal level of Yu Jin. If someone were to master the Three Imperial Force, would they need to combine six Extraordinary Art and thirty or forty kinds of Guan Guang Jin?

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long; we still need to work hard!" Qin Ming was that simple and honest. He would rather overestimate the Otherworlder who grew up in the Ancestral Court than underestimate those potentially terrifying opponents.

"Don't worry, it's not too late for you to learn the Six Royal Force at the Outer Saint Realm. You will also undergo a complete transformation. That's the wonder of the Six Imperial Heart Sutra. Our Fourth Ancestor and Young Ancestor started their journey later than you, yet they achieved even greater success."

The Fourth Ancestor and the Young Ancestor that Zhou Tao mentioned were the Ancestor's fourth disciple and last disciple, respectively. This is true; it's never too late to learn the Six Imperial Heart Sutra!

"To be on the safe side, I need to integrate at least six Extraordinary Art during my New Life stage!" Qin Ming pondered.

After having heart-to-heart talks with a group of teenagers and exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Tao went to find the incredibly talented teenager in his eyes. He took a deep breath and changed his mindset; this person really could be the patriarch of a revived dynasty!

"Elder Zhou, when I slew an old demon, I discovered that its horn was extraordinary. It can detoxify and enhance the medicinal properties. I've crafted a cup for it, so please accept it as a token of my gratitude." Qin Ming smiled as he handed over a golden, translucent rhinoceros horn cup.

Zhou Tao took it, but it felt too hot to handle, and he almost threw it away, because it was the "Wild Medicine" that his uncle Zhou Shize had been cultivating—the horn of Golden Rhinoceros.

If Lao Zhou saw him using this kind of cup to brew tea, he'd probably want to slap him.

"Okay, this is a nice gift, I'll accept it." He nodded with a smile, snuggled the gift into his arms, and decided not to let Old Zhou see it when he got back.

Then, he became serious and said, "I will give you the highest evaluation in this assessment. I believe your performance is outstanding."

It could be considered at the level of a master, or even Young Ancestor. But I still maintain that we should observe first and not disclose it publicly for now, otherwise I worry that the Six Sovereigns ' enemies might turn against you.

"I will follow the elder's orders," Qin Ming nodded.

Zhou Tao secretly calculated that this young man was already more powerful than top-tier Otherworlder, and with his ability to refine multiple Strange Blood... he was probably already on par with the Young Ancestor!

He even suspected that this might be a future Grandmaster Level figure!

Zhou Tao said, "I've seen some of the prey you've killed. The Heavenly Light Force is indeed extremely powerful, but the Grand Light Force in the world is only..."

In the New Life Realm and the Outer Saint Domain, there are no sustainable chapters, because the Heavenly Light Force combined in that way simply cannot reach the end; it will be blocked halfway. But the Cultivation Method of our Six Royals Ancestral Court can help you soar to great heights, ranking you at the forefront in every Major Realm. Only a few other inheritances can rival it.

He was well-versed in the Six Imperial Heart Sutra and knew more about the Heavenly Light Force than the Higher Aberrant, the Peacock and the Black Crane. Therefore, he immediately judged that this young man had not learned the Six Royal Force with Cui Chongxuan.

Qin Ming nodded solemnly. Regardless of whether he went to the Six Royals Ancestral Court or not, he had to show an expression of great anticipation now.

After Zhou Tao figured it out, his attitude towards him completely changed. If he really was the patriarch of the restoration, when else would he get closer? He believed that this was a win-win situation.

Then, the White Peacock and the Black Crane came over and chatted with Qin Ming, treating him with new respect.

However, they did not linger, avoiding attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives who might perceive their attitude towards Qin Ming as too unusual.

The next day, amidst the swirling night fog, White Peacock and Black Crane carried a group of people on their journey home. Zhou Tao felt conflicted; in the end, he had to bear it all alone.

He was thinking about how to explain the Strange Medicine medicine to the elders when he got back. Qin Ming was full of anticipation because Zhou Tao and Ri Kongque had already spoken.

Upon returning, he fulfilled his promise and allowed them to go to the Six Royals Enlightenment Ground to study an extremely powerful Cultivation Method.

The pitch-black world was vast and boundless. The two Flying Mount were incredibly fast; forty thousand miles was hardly a challenge for them.

With the Six Royals Ancestral Court in sight, the group returned.
