The Six Royals Ancestral Court is a place of scenic beauty.

Even though the Beyond-Mundane Disciples were quite knowledgeable, they were still full of wonder as they strolled around here.

"How big must the skull itself be to reach such a height?" Ahead, a five-hundred-meter-tall skull stood, not appearing sinister, but rather crystalline.

It was translucent, and different spiritual vines and exotic trees grew from its seven spans, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance. "This is the famous Seven-Span Medicine! Even some elders in our Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land are drooling over it. It's a pity, we can't move it."

"Sheng, have you forgotten where this is? The Ancestral Court of a certain religion!"

Behind him, upon hearing these words, Lu Zizai's jet-black hair began to flutter gently without any wind.

He hadn't even left yet, and the other shop had already taken a liking to the miraculous medicine in his own backyard. It's easy to imagine how much people from Beyond the Mundane have coveted it.

This was Qin Ming's first time thoroughly exploring this training ground, and he certainly broadened his horizons, with extraordinary sights everywhere. He almost drooled over the Seven Apertures Wonderful Medicine, but upon seeing Lu Zizai's expression, he immediately looked up at the clouds drifting across the night sky, displaying an expression of utter composure.

"This small group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples has a very solid foundation; they're not simple at all. The Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land truly remains prosperous for a long time." Lu Zizai watched their retreating figures.

He came in person, naturally to assess the situation. Through the aura flowing from these young men, he seemed to see a familiar old rival.

"Are they all very strong?" Qin Ming asked.

Lu Zizai said, "They are quite well prepared for the challenge of the Six Royal Force. They have a master who helped them refine part of their Consciousness Spirit Light, imbuing it with wisps of Pure Yang energy."

He didn't belittle them, but rather commented objectively, believing that the Beyond the Mundane were testing methods and validating some new ideas. "In the first two realms, the Core Disciple of the Six Royals Ancestral Court at the same level didn't respect these people, but after reaching the Spirit Field Realm..."

"That would be a huge problem." Lu Zizai sighed.

In fact, even at the Outer Saint stage, the speed at which the New Life Path is opened will suddenly slow down, and the gap will begin to widen rapidly. A group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples realm, even while walking in the Six Royals Ancestral Court, were all very confident.

Because even the "Immortal Combat Scripture," which could rival the "Six Imperial Heart Sutra," was only regarded by them as a means of protecting their path, not their primary cultivation Cultivation Method.

Some Old Senior from Beyond the Mundane told them that their path was the Immortal Path, allowing them to look down upon all other religions and instilling the strongest faith in all their disciples.

In fact, this was also the case when selecting disciples: those without spirituality could not enter the Beyond the Mundane, and those without Divine Wisdom could not join the Esoteric Sect.

Those ordinary people who are left out of the selection process can only rely on physical mutation to walk a difficult path.

"It's truly remarkable that a lineage like the Six Sovereigns has emerged on the New Life Path," said a Core Disciple from the Immortal Land. "To be able to establish oneself in the Night Mist World, to be renowned throughout the land, and to have even earned the approval of some of the Old Senior of the Immortal Land —that's quite extraordinary."

They believe they are making an objective evaluation, but in reality, they have a very strong sense of psychological superiority.

They believe that they are already winners during the selection process, and only ordinary people who are eliminated will take the New Life Path.

In a sense, this is indeed how they perceive the difference between immortals and mortals.

"The duel is tomorrow. Are you all confident?" asked Luo Yao, the White-Clad Girl. Her eyebrows were arched and her eyes were bright and lively; she was clearly not a quiet person.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Luo, it's not a big problem." A young man in yellow robes replied, and as he spoke, a dazzling Heavenly Light Force emanated from his body, even his hair was tinged with golden light.

The others also spoke up, for they knew that the White-Clad Girl was of great importance; the "sister" she had once followed held an extremely high position in the Immortal Land, and despite her young age...

They are already able to hold their own against the previous generation.

The White-Clad Girl, Luo Yao, was also outstanding enough. When she reached the right age, she competed for the Core Disciple, defeated many opponents, and was successfully selected on her first try.

"Thinking about it carefully, they can only match us in the first two realms. After reaching the Third Realm, they can only watch our backs from afar. I wonder why the elders are testing us like this?" someone asked.

"Every path needs constant improvement; this is to prepare for the Great Wilderness Expansion. Disciples in the first two realms need various means of protection."

Unlike her usual carefree self, Luo Yao spoke seriously, "You all need to be more serious. Otherwise, you'll all suffer a crushing defeat, and that would be embarrassing."

Then, she looked at a Purple-Clad Boy beside her and said, "Li Daocheng, you must keep things in order. This is the first time these Old Senior are testing their magic; you can't let them down."

Young Li Daocheng nodded and said, "Senior Sister Luo, don't worry. The <Immortal Combat Scripture> that I comprehended is comparable to the <Six Imperial Heart Sutra>, and it seems to resonate with me perfectly. I was so engrossed in the scripture that I almost neglected my cultivation on the Immortal Path to immortality."

He had purple hair, a calm and composed face, and a faint purple glow flowing deep within his eyes—a manifestation of reaching a certain level in Immortal Combat Scripture.

In fact, with each breath he took, wisps of Purple Mist would surge toward him from the heavens and earth.

Luo Yao smiled and said, "Yes, you've been critiqued by my sister before, so you'd better do well this time. I'll lend you her cultivation notes when we get back."

After that, they stopped talking about the topic and instead admired the spectacular scenery.

Ahead, a Fire Willow soared into the night sky, its enormous canopy covering an area of several miles, resembling a mountain. Its drooping branches were crimson like the sunset, a truly beautiful sight.

Lu Zizai said, "Did you feel it? People from the Beyond the Mundane always have a sense of psychological superiority when they face us."

"Because we are ordinary people who mutated through physical transformation." Qin Ming smiled and nodded, already used to it, his heart unmoved. In fact, when he first met the White-Clad Girl Luo Yao, although she had no ill intentions, she had laughed at his simplicity, saying that they were like two people separated by mountains and seas.

After glancing at the few teenagers, Lu Zizai stopped looking at them and turned to walk back.

Qin Ming asked, "Senior Brother Lu, since Ming Guan is dueling with them, as Six Sovereigns' Disciple, shouldn't I demonstrate the Six Royal Force against them?"

Initially, he was too embarrassed to mention these things, because he had already gained so much and wasn't thick-skinned enough. Now, however, he felt it was more appropriate to teach his opponent the signature techniques of the Six Royals Ancestral Court. Lu Zizai said, "The Six Sovereigns path has problems; you don't need to practice it. What I'm doing now is forgetting my past skills."

"Fa. I consider you one of my kind, and I don't want you to follow the paths of those who came before you. Every Ancestor forged their own way, carving out a new path; you should do the same." Qin Ming sighed inwardly. His silk Silk Book Method was quite unconventional; from his perspective, the more Cultivation Method one had, the better. However, he didn't want to bring up the matter again.

After all, he was one of those who were about to flee. Lu Zi, with his back to him, stopped and said, "I suspect that your methods are similar to a certain special scripture in history, but everyone involved failed, some died, some were crippled, and it involved a Grandmaster Level figure."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was deeply shaken. He felt that what Lu Zizai mentioned sounded very much like Silk Book Method!

Lu Zizai turned around and said, "If you really take this path and can endure it to the end, come find me later!" He added, "In the early stages, if I give you the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, which still has problems, I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed. You should proceed step by step."

"Senior Brother Lu, what exactly is your identity?" Qin Ming couldn't help but ask, bringing up the old matter again.

Lu Zizai said, "So you want to know? Fine, I'll tell you before I leave after we defeat the people from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land." That evening, Qin Ming's entire body radiated Golden Haze. Although he had comprehended the <River Luo Scripture>, he had only practiced it for a short time and had only developed a small amount of Heavenly Light Force; it was not yet fully mastered. Now, however, there was a way to solve this problem.

In a short while, he used the metal to generate water to transform the Heavenly Light Force. Soon, the Golden Haze glow turned into water mist, layer upon layer, engulfing him, and the rich vitality dissipated.

Then, he tried transforming again, constantly experimenting and exchanging elements among the Five Elements, becoming more and more proficient.

In the end, he could change attributes with a single thought. The next day, a vast training ground in the Six Royals Ancestral Court was already filled with people.

Everyone knew that people from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land had come to inquire and exchange ideas, intending to use the methods of the New Life Path to compete with them, causing Xuanran.

Many disciples of the Six Royals Ancestral Court were indignant, feeling offended. They didn't care about the outcome; they were attacking the enemy's strengths with their own weaknesses. But if the opponent won, what face would the Six Royal Lineage have left?

"Our disciples haven't even practiced the methods of the New Life Path for five years yet," an old man said with a smile. "Hmm,"

"Our disciples have only been on the New Life Path for two years," an elder from the Six Royals Ancestral Court calmly responded. In reality, he was merely repeating Lu Zizai's veiled words, acting as a mere "relay station."

Yesterday, Lu personally visited the disciples of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land and already knew their strengths and weaknesses. At this moment, Qin Ming, dressed in green, stood quietly in the center of the room, and no one recognized him.

Lu Zizai was also afraid that if he stood out, he would be remembered by some shameless Old Senior in the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land, just like the Overlord of Yin Ri, who ended up in tragedy. However, Qin Ming's cultivation level was still low, and he was not yet in the sight of those big shots. But if he was remembered every time, it would leave a deep impression over time.

Near the training ground, Fire Spring flowed, and silver trees shimmered with electricity, illuminating the area. The people from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land sat on a high platform, appearing relaxed, but in reality, they took this matter very seriously. If the trial succeeded, the senior Old Senior would continue to verify many astonishing ideas.

The lapis lazuli ground was very hard. A young man from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land walked over, dressed in white, spotless.

As he advanced, green leaves appeared one after another, followed by withered yellow leaves that danced and swirled around his body. "It's actually the Wither Bloom Scripture! How can someone his age have cultivated it to this level? The Heavenly Light Force isn't just being projected outwards, it's also taking form!"

"Creating a special scene?"

Some of the Six Sovereigns ' disciples' expressions changed, which greatly shocked them.

"What's the panic? It's just Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light carrying the Heavenly Light Force; it's all an illusion." An elder chuckled, silencing them.

Even so, he was still uncertain. If the people of the Beyond the Mundane had combined the two paths, it would be quite unfavorable.

The White-clothed Youth smiled, and Wither Bloom Scripture, brilliant flower buds bloomed in the void. Then, he shook his head and flew towards Qin Ming.

Even when he was fighting, he exuded an otherworldly, ethereal aura, exceptionally transcendent and detached from worldly affairs.

Qin Ming stood there, casually stroking the flower with his finger, a slight smile playing on his lips. His ethereal Divine Charm clearly surpassed that of the young man opposite him. Sweat beaded on the White-clothed Youth's forehead; the flower carried his Heavenly Light Force, and even more so, the Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light refined for him by the elders.

Originally possessing immense power, capable of exploding instantly, it's now being admired as an "ordinary flower"—what kind of monster is this?

Then, he activated another sacred flower bud, causing it to spin rapidly and press down on his opponent. Qin Ming remained steadfast.

It's the same hand, gently stroking the flowers, while the other hand is behind her back, relaxed and carefree, as if a celestial being were facing ordinary mortals.

In the eyes of the people of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land, everything was reversed.

With a whoosh, Qin Ming flicked his hand, and the two flower buds flew back even faster than they had come, blooming again as their petals scattered one by one.

It bloomed, danced, and then exploded with a bang! The boy in the sun-dressed clothes had no chance to dodge. He was covered by the huge petals, which shattered his clothes and cracked his body. He coughed up blood, trembled violently, and finally fell backward to the ground, his blood staining the ground red.

"That's it? You just came to the Six Royals Ancestral Court to offer flowers?" Qin Ming asked, one hand behind his back.

(There's more to come!)
