Craving it to tears

The boundless earth, pitch black and endless. Sometimes people wonder if the whole world has fallen into a huge Abyss, shrouded in night fog year-round.

The Six Royals Ancestral Court are like a candle flame in the wind, flickering and casting a faint halo at the edge of the horizon.

On the back of the White Peacock, a group of teenagers had bright eyes as they looked at the approaching mountain gate, a place that held their hopes for soaring to great heights.

Zhou Tao's temples were graying, and his eyes gleamed with a golden light. He secretly Qin Ming using Secret Method.

"You can extract the medicinal essence from the Strange Blood yourself, that's quite impressive. Let me estimate your current potential value for you."

In the Six Royals Ancestral Court, Qin Ming's initial foundation was not measured in jin (a unit of weight), but in potential value.

He really couldn't reveal his true abilities, not because he was afraid of scaring Zhou Tao, but because he worried that some unfathomable Old Senior in the Six Royals Ancestral Court might detain him and "study" him carefully.

"What is this? A drifting leaf..." A boy asked in confusion, then his face lit up with surprise.

Keep in mind, they were piercing through clouds and mist, at an unknown height above the ground, so how could they have witnessed such a spectacular sight?

Leaves fall one by one from the clouds and mist, some shimmering with green light, full of vitality, while others are withered and yellow, as if they have just been swept down by the autumn wind, carrying an air of desolation.

Leaves danced in the air, as if falling from the night sky.

Long before the boys exclaimed in surprise, the White Peacock and Black Crane had already begun their rapid descent, as they had both sensed the anomaly beforehand.

Zhou Tao's entire body glowed, his eyes like golden lamps, piercing through the night fog and staring straight into the night sky!

A rope, seemingly from beyond the Great Wall, swooped down at lightning speed towards the peacock watching the sunrise, attempting to strangle it and lock it away.

The power of the Sun Peacock far exceeded everyone's expectations. Its white light surged, and its speed increased dramatically. It easily evaded the attack and rushed towards the Six Royals Mountain Gate, continuously descending.

The fallen leaves, which shimmered with a greenish light, and the withered yellow leaves, all began to vibrate and rotate, turning towards the two giant protective shields, each emitting a piercing light.

At the same time, Elder Zhou made his move, his palm slicing through the void, unleashing the Six Royal Force, its light shining in all directions, exploding with a deafening roar, tearing apart the leaves that were flying everywhere.

The rope hanging from the night sky, like a Flood Dragon, swayed gently, producing a thunderous roar. When it touched Zhou Tao, it nearly shook him off the White Peacock's back.

All the boys' expressions changed when they saw that the long rope was just a rough straw rope, yet it emitted thunder and lightning as it swayed gently, which was truly terrifying.

Elder Zhou Tao Tiger's Roar Technique, which shook his internal organs and caused his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to surge. He then unleashed his Six Royal Force, blocking the straw rope in the night sky.

"Which senior is making a move?" he asked, also signaling a warning and requesting assistance from the Six Royals Ancestral Court.

He was certain this was a highly skilled senior expert; otherwise, even if the straw rope were a priceless treasure, he would have already destroyed it. As an elder of the Six Royals Ancestral Court, he was that confident. Once he mastered the Six Royal Force, any Spirit Artifact or Secret Treasure would be nothing to him.

They were at a similar level to him, and could be shattered with their bare hands.

In an instant, the cries of cranes and peacocks resounded through the sky.

The straw rope emitted lightning, and Zhou Tao's armor exploded instantly, turning into ashes.

He was horrified, because he had just died once, and the armor contained a life-saving Life Talisman, blessed by the Young Ancestor, who had taken the calamity in his place.

Those above thought they had shattered him; the straw rope swung and rushed toward the White Peacock's neck, intending to lock it in place and capture everyone in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the lush green leaves and withered yellow leaves all scattered, transforming into Yin-Yang Qi, which rotated and pressed down on the White Peacock.

Boom!

Suddenly, the night fog burst open!

Five-Colored Divine Radiance emanated from the White Peacock, tearing through the entire night sky and illuminating the world. It not only shook open the straw rope but also kept the Yin-Yang Qi outside.

At the same time, it protected Zhou Tao and everyone on his back with Five-Colored Divine Radiance.

"Auntie, you've mistaken it for an old sparrow, not a little bird!" A voice echoed through the night sky.

At this moment, his blurry outline can be seen. In the thick fog high in the sky, a strange bird floats, and a dark shadow stands on its back.

"Enough! How dare you cause trouble near my ancestral Ancestral Court!" someone said from not far away, their voice cold but tinged with anger.

In the night fog, a small, exotic bird flew in, its back no bigger than a tabletop, its entire body crimson, yet it could carry people at high speeds.

A middle-aged man stood on it, his sleeves flowing, surrounded by swirling clouds and smoke, exuding an otherworldly aura.

"If I don't spare your dog's life, do you really think my Six Sovereigns are rotten and incompetent?" he said calmly, his murderous intent stirring the Heavenly Elephant and tearing through the night fog.

Someone actually blocked the Six Royals Mountain Gate and captured Zhou Tao and a group of teenagers. This was definitely a deliberate provocation to test the strength of the Six Royals Ancestral Court.

Because recently there have been rumors that the Ancestor of the Six Sovereigns is in poor health, his lifespan is running out, and he is about to pass away.

A small, fiery red bird carried a middle-aged man with flowing sleeves into the night. His body was enveloped in Six Qi that shook the night sky.

Boom!

Like a flash of lightning, his punch was many times stronger than Zhou Tao's.

The straw rope in the night sky snapped and exploded into dozens of pieces! Then, the middle-aged man gave chase to the pursuer.

Possession? Then leave behind this Consciousness Spirit Light! He said coldly.

Meanwhile, in the ancestral temple of the Sixth Ancestral Court, several aged figures silently walked out and disappeared into the night. Clearly, there was more than one instigator.

"See? If one truly masters the Six Royal Heavenly Light, even powerful figures from the Esoteric Sect or Beyond the Mundane could be easily crushed. But I haven't mastered it yet; my skills are insufficient."

Zhou Tao praised the Ancestral Court's unique skills, which boosted the morale of a group of young people.

The night fog swelled, obscuring the red-clad figure and the middle-aged man; only occasional rays of light pierced the darkness in the distance. "Ah..."

As the White Peacock watched them enter the mountain gate, screams echoed from afar.

Zhou Tao let out a sigh of relief and said, "The battle was fast, wasn't it? It was that fierce. In an instant, the attackers were dealt with. That old bastard was slapped to pieces. It felt great, blood rained down everywhere!"

He could vaguely see it, but the group of teenagers looked on with hatred and were too far away to see the final scene. However, he was still shocked and excited, and full of expectations for the Six Imperial Heart Sutra!

Zhuo Ya's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Both her parents were members of the Esoteric Sect and had quite a background. She understood the current complex environment. The once glorious Six Sovereigns had indeed been declining for a long time, and there were rumors that they were about to collapse. Could the decaying Six Sovereigns New Life?

Qin Ming was deeply disturbed. All he could see was the dazzling light emanating from the Fire Spring, while in the darkness outside the mountain gate, there was a heavy stench of blood.

The Six Royals Ancestral Court stand tall, overlooking majestic mountains that are both grand and ethereal. Some mountains are shrouded in white mist, with the Giant Palace built of lapis lazuli appearing and disappearing in the distance. On some peaks, waterfalls of Fire Spring hang down, and spirit trees sway with the light of seven-colored clouds.

Even when it wasn't at its peak, the Six Royals Ancestral Court still had many disciples and wasn't deserted; one could see people practicing martial arts everywhere.

"You must all be tired from traveling all this way. Rest for the night, and I'll take you to the Enlightenment Land tomorrow," Zhou Tao said, before hurrying away. He had many things to report and explain.

The group of teenagers returned to live in the Golden Forest and went back to their respective cabins.

In the middle of the night, Qin Ming was startled awake from his deepest sleep. He sensed something and saw an old man, his body almost completely bald, drifting past the window.

His outstanding performance in the Divine Land —could it have caused some trouble? What's going on? He can't sleep soundly anymore; he hopes some old geezer won't hold a grudge against him.

Qin Ming really wanted to return to Red Haze City to consult Meng Xinghai, mainly because he knew nothing about such a major sect and was worried about potential problems.

The next day, after breakfast, the group of teenagers were incredibly excited, as they were about to gain early access to a profound Cultivation Method.

The ancestral temple of the Sixth Ancestral Court covers a vast area with various terrains. They were taken to a rocky mountain area with sparse vegetation, cliffs and precipices everywhere, and numerous caves.

The group dispersed and entered different areas, leaving only Qin Ming, Zhuo Ya, Cao Wuji, and Cui Chongxuan in the original location.

"Given your outstanding performance this time, I'm making an exception and giving you the opportunity to be selected for a Extraordinary Art," Zhou Tao said with a smile, his eyes bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well the night before.

Even Zhuo Ya and Cui Chongxuan were taken aback; to receive Extraordinary Art right off the bat was incredibly generous.

Cao Wuji was so excited he was almost dizzy. Of the four, he was the most eager for the Cultivation Method. He immediately patted his chest and said, "I'll stay at the Six Royals Ancestral Court and won't go to other sects to participate in the assessment!"

He immediately declared that Lu Yuzhi, the beautiful and ethereal Senior Sister of the Jade Clarity Sect, suddenly lost her otherworldly aura, and her figure blurred.

Qin Ming was also quite unsettled. Even though the Six Royals Ancestral Court was no longer what it used to be, it still had a lot of spirit, actually letting them choose Extraordinary Art directly.

He guessed that the scriptures circulating outside were not a closely guarded secret, but even so, they were still quite impressive.

He almost cried from craving.

Because Zhou Tao and an elderly man with light golden hair gave them a list of optional Extraordinary Art, and he... wanted to learn them all!

The old man with a full head of light blond hair was Zhou Shize, who had come specifically to see Qin Ming. He smiled and nodded at him.

In fact, Qin Ming noticed that several elderly people had already passed by, and they all seemed to have glanced at the four of them.

"They actually have the <Golden Crow Illuminates Night Scripture>?" Even Cui Chongxuan exclaimed in surprise, which shows how extraordinary this scripture is, because even the Huo Family couldn't collect this secret manual.

Zhou Tao smiled and said, "Stay calm, it's just an incomplete scripture, but it's still equivalent to a Extraordinary Art."

"This is the first part of the <The Wither Bloom Scripture>?" Cao Wuji had never felt so extravagant before; he could choose any of the legendary extraordinary scriptures he had ever heard of.

Zhou Tao nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed this top-tier Cultivation Method. Hmm, the sect also preserves the lower part of the Wither Bloom Scripture and Flourishing Scripture.' After mastering the upper part of this extraordinary scripture, you will naturally also receive the subsequent Cultivation Method."

"I'll choose this one!" Cao Wuji made the decision immediately. Although he had never had access to top-tier secret manuals in the past, he had heard various legends about them.

The Wither Bloom Scripture not only involves the wood element of the Five Elements, but also the changes of Yin and Yang, making it one of the strongest Extraordinary Art. Zhou Shize praised, "Yes, a wise choice. The Wither Bloom Scripture is indispensable in the combination of the Six Royal Force."

Qin Ming was also looking at the list when he discovered the "Neurosis" item. He immediately thought of the incomplete copy of the Divine Ape Force that Tang Xumi, Hu Tingwen, and others owed him, which they still hadn't delivered to him.

"Does this ' Radiance Scripture ' align with the area of expertise of our Young Ancestor?" Zhuo Ya also had her eye on a Extraordinary Art.

"Passed down from the same lineage!" Zhou Tao nodded solemnly. He too rose to prominence through this Extraordinary Art, and the Zhou Family was originally from the lineage of the Young Ancestor.

Qin Ming was suffering from decision paralysis. These were all good Cultivation Method, and he wanted to practice them all. Many of the scriptures were very famous, and he was almost overwhelmed by the choices.

Finally, his gaze fell on the <River Luo Scripture>. According to its description, it was a top-tier Extraordinary Art and the only Cultivation Method among these scriptures that involved water.

Zhou Shize gave him a friendly smile and said, "A very good choice. Although the name of the River Luo Scripture is common, its wonderful uses are unparalleled."

Poverty is something only those who practice it truly understand, and once you achieve mastery, there's a renowned classic to follow—the * Overturning Sea Scripture *.

The old man was a bit too enthusiastic, helping Qin Ming analyze and resolve his doubts, and even at the end, he seemed to want to pat him on the head.

Qin Ming was flattered and surprised. What was going on?

Four Teenage Aberrant were led to different places, each with flowing Fire Spring nearby, creating a bright and luminous atmosphere.

Qin Ming saw a boy taking a walk near his stone cave.

The boy was about to leave, but stopped when he saw him, looking him up and down and saying, "Something's not right with you." Qin Ming, seeing that he was about the same age as him, greeted him as well.

The young man was handsome, and although he wore coarse linen clothes, his demeanor was outstanding. Qin Ming approached step by step and said, "Something's not right with you either."

"What's wrong with me?" the boy asked, puzzled.

"Your hair is prematurely gray, you must have dyed it, the roots are white," Qin Ming said.

The ethereal-looking young man pointed at him, but then lowered his hand, saying, "Do you know what's wrong with you?"

(There's more to come!)
