Ambition to Pioneer a Path
In the stone chamber, Qin Ming, half-asleep, vaguely saw a towering figure deep in the night mist, and the Light of the Mind seemed about to dissipate!
He suddenly woke up, sat up, feeling unsettled and quite drowsy. It had only been a brief warning, yet it had caused him so much stress.
He calmed his mind and focused his spirit, circulating the <Life Altering Scripture> to enhance the activity of his flesh and blood, nourish his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit. After a short while, he was completely recovered and no longer felt tired.
"It was truly bizarre, as if my consciousness had left my body. As I watched the mist recede, I witnessed such an unusual scene, both real and illusory."
Qin Ming pondered, one was Lu Zizai, and the other could be the Six Royals Ancestor?!
At the same time, he found the River Luo Scripture very interesting; its top-tier Extraordinary Art were like a gold mine, which could be continuously mined and would bring constant surprises.
Qin Ming consolidated his River Luo Scripture in the Quiet Room, mastering the fifth Extraordinary Art and developing the Heavenly Light Force. This brought him a sense of accomplishment filled with joy and satisfaction.
Soon after, he emerged from the cave and breathed in the fresh air.
In recent days, around this time every day, Lu Zizai would appear nearby, taking a walk in the Enlightenment Land, as if contemplating something, or perhaps reminiscing about something because he was about to embark on a long journey.
"How is your comprehension of the <River Luo Scripture>?" Lu Zizai appeared again, standing by the Green Bamboo Forest and asking.
Looking back, he mastered the basics in just five or six days and quickly developed the River Luo Force), leaving those around him speechless. Those scenes seem like they happened just yesterday.
"Actually, it's not that difficult; compared to some secret manuals, it's relatively easy to get started," Lu Zizai said.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Senior Brother Lu is right, I feel the same way." "Then how much do you understand?" Lu Zizai asked with a smile.
Qin Ming reported, "I've mastered all the chapters from the New Life stage, as well as some scriptures from the Outer Saint Domain that I could comprehend." Lu Zizai confirmed, "How many days have passed?"
"Four days," Qin Ming replied. Then, a soft, Heavenly Light Force appeared in his palm, accompanied by a misty haze. He then drew the nearby Fire Spring into his hand, and crimson clouds and mist swirled around the area like a fiery sunset.
"Four days?" Lu Zizai stunned. This was even faster than his own record from years ago. Was his newly acquainted "junior brother" really this amazing? He thought his record would be hard to break, at least within the Six Royals Ancestral Court, but he had actually witnessed it firsthand.
The successor took even less time than him.
After a slight pause, Lu Zizai nodded and said, "That's right, you will be one of us in the future."
A group of elders stood guard at a distance, not daring to peek, but the Young Ancestor's eldest disciple, who was standing closer, overheard these words.
He was immediately shocked!
How many people on the New Life Path in this world can bear such a judgment?
"W-What's wrong?" Zhou Tao noticed that the figure of the Japanese soldiers in front of him trembled and thought something had gone wrong.
The eldest disciple of the Young Ancestor returned, trembling, his hair so thin it was almost negligible. He sighed, "It's actually an ancestral-level talent." "Senior Brother Lu, can I learn the True Method <World Fire> now?" Qin Ming asked, his eyes shining brightly.
Lu Zizai's expression was somewhat complicated. Looking at the young man in front of him, he seemed to see his former self, so talented and so eager to learn.
He smiled again soon; he was now an eighteen-year-old boy! "Exceptional comprehension, I will teach you the Worldly Fire Refines True Skill."
Qin Ming listened attentively, then returned to his Quiet Room to silently comprehend the text. It was indeed difficult, as he had not yet fully grasped its meaning. Some details could only be understood intuitively, and he needed to navigate through the enigma on his own.
"Hurry up and study this. Ask me anything you don't understand. I might have to leave in the next few days," Lu Zizai said.
He was quite direct, speaking so frankly even in the Six Royals Ancestral Court. "Are you leaving or staying?" Lu Zizai asked.
Qin Ming naturally wanted to run away too. If even this powerful figure wanted to escape, what was he still doing here?
However, he felt somewhat sorry for the Six Royals Ancestral Court. He had learned their Extraordinary Art, and he now knew that the "Strange Medicine" he had picked might have an owner. Would the elders allow him to simply leave like this?
Lu Zizai said, "If you feel you owe the Six Royals Ancestral Court something, you can repay it in the future."
"Okay!" Qin Ming nodded, and then asked some questions about the "World Fire" scripture. This scripture was not long, but it was indeed extremely profound.
It is mysterious and unpredictable, with endless uses; it can see through things like fire and examine the compatibility between oneself and the Cultivation Method.
Several days later, Qin Ming felt that even if this True Method still had its mysteries, he could figure it out on his own and pass through the ineffable fog zone.
Lu Zizai packed his belongings, preparing to leave the Six Royals Ancestral Court. "Senior, where are you going?"
"I'll go and experience the mortal world, and then, most likely, I'll head deep into the Night Mist World to explore the New Life Path." Without a doubt, Lu Zizai has the Ambition to Pioneer a Path!
As the melodious bells rang out in the Six Royals Ancestral Court, it was a summons of the young disciples.
"I'm not leaving for now." Lu Zizai had run away, actually returned, seemingly unhappy, pacing back and forth in the Enlightenment Land.
Qin Ming stepped out of the Quiet Room and asked, "Senior, what happened?"
"I am very dissatisfied with the visitors from Beyond the Mundane." That was his true nature; he possessed an otherworldly demeanor, yet his words were very direct.
"What's wrong?" Qin Ming knew something must have happened.
Lu Zizai said, "Someone from Beyond the Mundane has brought their disciples to interfere."
Qin Ming scoffed, saying, "What's the big deal? The early Six Royal Force is best suited for fighting those Beyond the Mundane People. The Heavenly Light is as Great Sun, capable of scorching their Consciousness Spirit Light."
There's a reason why the legendary martial arts techniques are feared by both the Beyond the Mundane and Esoteric Sect, especially the first two realms, which are somewhat effective against them.
As for the other forms of Heavenly Light Force, well, that's a long story. They were completely suppressed by the methods of the Beyond the Mundane and the Esoteric Sect.
"The key is, they want to use our methods against us," Lu Zizai said with dissatisfaction. Qin Ming asked abruptly, "The methods of the New Life Path?"
It is said that some old fellows in the Beyond the Mundane have developed extraordinary Cultivation Method. Some even say that these are the lost techniques of our New Life Path, now in their hands. Lu Zizai frowned. The people from the Beyond the Mundane People were clearly testing the techniques, and this time, someone was leading the team, and their first target was the Six Royals Ancestral Court.
They call it a friendly exchange, but they definitely want a real contest. How could they dare to come without a certain level of confidence? If the disciples of the Six Royals Ancestral Court were to be suppressed by people from Beyond the Mundane in their own home, that would be a huge problem.
"Is this truly a profound Cultivation Method researched by great figures from Beyond the Mundane?" Qin Ming asked. "If so, it's incredibly powerful."
Zizai shook his head and said, "Definitely not. It's not even the same path. How could they create a technique so casually? They probably obtained the Cultivation Method left behind by the Ancestor who died in an accident on the New Life Path, such as the <Intercepting Heaven Strategy>, or the long-lost <Eight Sceneries Divine Illumination Scripture>, etc."
Although he felt that the Six Royals Ancestral Court was corrupt and hoped that it could be New Life, he did not want outsiders to come and challenge it in this way.
Especially before he left the company.
"There shouldn't be a big problem," Qin Ming thought, believing that the Otherworlder trained by the Six Royals Ancestral Court were capable of handling this situation.
Lu Zizai said, "Don't underestimate the Beyond the Mundane. They have methods to enhance the foundation of New Life Evolver. Even the Ancestor of the New Life Path once used their methods to strengthen his own foundation."
Moreover, he has already learned that this time, the Beyond the Mundane has cultivated a top-tier Otherworlder! If Guan Guangjin, who is no weaker than the legendary Six Sovereigns, is added to the mix, then the outcome is truly uncertain.
Lu Zizai said, "Although the talent cultivation of the Six Royals Ancestral Court is not as good as it used to be, I expect it can still handle things. But I don't want to let the people from the Beyond the Mundane win a single match."
Because the opponent is challenging us using methods from the New Life Path, their intentions are clearly hostile.
"Go and make your move. Don't give them a single chance. Sweep them all away like moths to a flame!" Lu Zizai said. "Okay, no problem!" Qin Ming nodded immediately. He had received many benefits from the Six Royals Ancestral Court and was wondering how to repay the debt of karma in the future.
As a result, he had the opportunity to show off his skills even before he left.
"Senior Brother Lu, you have to help me conceal my true appearance. I'm worried about potential problems later." "Don't worry, I've definitely considered that." Lu Zizai nodded.
Soon, Qin Ming learned that the people who came this time were from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land, and it was said that several Old Senior had researched a technique called "The Immortal Combat Scripture".
Moreover, the people of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land privately believe that the Heavenly Light Force cultivated from this book is absolutely no weaker Tathagata Force or the Jade Clarity Force.
"That's a very impressive name for this scripture," Qin Ming remarked, a look of surprise on his face.
"It's definitely a scripture left behind by a Ancestor of the New Life Path, which they've altered and reproduced." Lu Zizai said with great certainty.
The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. After friendly exchanges with the people of the Six Royals Ancestral Court, the people of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land will visit the Jade Clarity Sect, the Tathagata Sect, and other places.
Lu Zizai was even more dissatisfied. Did they intend to challenge all the strongest lineages on the New Life Path?
He instructed, "Go all out. It's alright. I want them to take back what they said. After this battle, they should all return to the Immortal Realm to recuperate."
Qin Ming said, "Okay, no problem. Senior Brother Lu, I want to use the <River Luo Scripture>, but I haven't mastered this Heavenly Light Force yet..." He originally wanted to ask if there were any "Fallen Fruit" here so he could quickly integrate the force techniques.
Lu Zizai said, "You have five Extraordinary Art, each belonging to Five Elements. Now you can easily Five Elements Wheel and temporarily transform one of them into the water element. It shouldn't be too difficult."
"You can do that? I'll give it a try!" Qin Ming became interested and put the matter of "Fallen Fruit" out of his mind.
That day, while he was taking a walk with Lu Zizai in the Six Royals Ancestral Court, he unexpectedly discovered a familiar face in the crowd—a guest from the Immortal Land.
The White-Clad Girl was not one of the Otherworlder who was going to make a move, but rather a member of the accompanying spectator group.
Lu Zizai understood and said, "That small group of people should be the Core Disciple of Xinpu from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land. They want to observe the various methods of our path through the battles among top-tier extraordinary Mortal World."
Qin Ming was surprised to learn that she had become Core Disciple of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land. In the past, he had encountered two women by the Fire Spring in Double Tree Village.
The Green-Clad Woman once stood on the back of the Golden Peng and stole the greatest fortune from Black White Mountain; the White-Clad Girl beside her now shares that identity.
(There's more to come!)
