A warm and friendly exchange

The moment those words were uttered, not only Li Daocheng, but also the other disciples of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land mortal world, rose from their seats and could no longer remain seated.

Especially on the lapis lazuli-paved ground, the Green-Clad Youth stood with one hand behind his back and the other raised, a radiant smile on his face. How could Li Daocheng, the main character, tolerate this? No one had ever dared to treat him so disrespectfully.

"Elder, please let me step into the arena! I have mastered the <Immortal Combat Scripture>, advancing along two paths simultaneously, and I will not be able to defeat anyone from any sect's Ancestral Court!" he pleaded vehemently.

The elders of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land squinted, displeased. They had always been the ones in power, but today they were being bullied.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

The elder shook his head, insisting that he not be allowed to leave the field.

He felt that Li Daocheng might not necessarily win; if he were to lose, the entire army would be wiped out, and even their last fig leaf would be torn away.

Being in the Six Royals Ancestral Court, he couldn't use his Consciousness Spirit Light to investigate the background of the Green-Clad Youth, after all, the old man with hardly any hair left on his head was keeping an eye on him.

But his instincts were sharp, and he felt that this young man was very "demonic" and should be the trump card of the Six Royals Ancestral Court, which was specially released this time just to break through a group of challengers!

"What harm is there in having my hands behind my back!" Qin Ming spoke again, his sleeves billowing as he placed his hands behind his back. Many people's expressions changed; did this mean he would only use his feet?

The disciples of the Six Royals Ancestral Court were all in an uproar, feeling that this junior brother was truly formidable; they hadn't seen such a powerful "seed disciple" in many years.

However, they did feel refreshed!

Historically, it has always been the Beyond the Mundane that have been in power, but now the tables have turned.

The arena was shrouded in mist, all formed from the Fire Spring, creating a magnificent spectacle that made the Green-Clad Youth appear to be standing high above the heavens.

Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised.

"He's so arrogant!" said Luo Yao, the White-Clad Girl, grinding her teeth in anger, though she was powerless to do anything about it. Hearing these words, Li Daocheng naturally became even more furious.

In fact, the disciples of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land had reached their limit, and a top Core Disciple volunteered to fight, wanting to settle the matter using the methods of the Immortal Realm.

For so many years, they have always had a sense of superiority, looking down on the New Life Path, believing that it is the path taken by a group of Immortal Path.

As a result, they were looked down upon today!

However, their elder, Mu Huaijin, became increasingly convinced that the Green-Clad Youth robes must have something to rely on and was currently trying to overthrow all the Beyond-Mundane Disciples.

Mu Huaijin glanced at them and said, "As Immortal Path Disciple, what kind of decorum is this, so impetuous? What is this? It's nothing, just a trivial matter, why bother with it!"

He continued calmly, "He has no chance to walk the Immortal Path, so he can only rely on physical mutation to improve himself. It's normal for him to rise faster and more fiercely in the early stages. From the Outer Saint onwards, such people have to slow down, and you quickly widen the gap between you. And by the Third Realm, he can only look at your backs from afar."

Hearing the elder's words, the group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples felt much better; their inner turmoil subsided, and they gradually regained their composure.

Mu Huaijin spoke again, "Even later on, he will compete with your disciples and grand-disciples, because the speed of advancement will become increasingly faster."

Wait. Hmm, at the next level, you'll be qualified to choose someone like that as your bodyguard. If you go and fight him to the death now, even if you manage to go even, you'll find out years later that it wasn't worth it."

Of course, he was only sending these words telepathically; otherwise, some of the old men from the Six Royals Ancestral Court might have come directly to "measure" him.

At the age of 10, the group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples felt relieved. They used the methods of the New Life Path to fight their enemies, and their defeat was nothing more than a fragmented scene on their Immortal Path.

But why is this "scenery" so jarring?

The other party actually spoke up again, which infuriated them!

"I, Qi Zizai, stand firmly in the present moment and ask only one question: Do any of you immortal disciples dare to fight?" Qin Ming challenged.

He had initially considered the name Wu Zizai, but then felt that Wu, being the fifth digit, shouldn't be placed before Lu Zizai. He decided to use Qi, the seventh digit. Qi Zizai arrogant and domineering, representing the Six Royals Ancestral Court. What did that have to do with Qin Ming?

"It's called the Immortal Path, its dazzling light illuminating the night sky, yet not a single person dares to step onto it?!" Qin Ming spoke again. The girl in the sun-dressed robes, Luo Yao, clenched her fist Li Daocheng's purple hair billowed; and the other disciples were also furious.

Without a doubt, the name Qi Zizai is destined to stay with them for a long time, and it will be difficult for them to forget what they have experienced today.

Mu Huaijin's words were in vain; the group of young disciples who had just sat down were all spurred to their feet. "Qi Zizai, I'll go..." a Core Disciple spoke up.

"Sit down!" Mu Huai placed his hand on his shoulder.

Qin Ming sighed. He wanted to provoke Li Daocheng into taking the fight seriously, to make him emotionally unstable. He desperately wanted that book, the "Immortal Combat Scripture".

However, the elders of the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land were far too cautious. Despite his provocation, they didn't take the bait and remained remarkably restrained. Seeing their helpless expression, Mu Huaijin himself wanted to join the fray.

"So it's Junior Brother Qi Zizai! Such a young and promising Seed Level Figure, he's bound to achieve great things in the future, perhaps even the revival ancestor of our Six Sovereigns!" A group of disciples in the Ancestral Court discussed excitedly. Their feelings were naturally completely different, all quite excited and thrilled.

Only Lu Zizai's expression faltered slightly; the name seemed rather ostentatious.

In particular, when he saw Qin Ming reach out again, he felt that he had gone too far and had already "exceeded" the target. He couldn't continue and had to call him back immediately.

Because now Qin Ming slowly extended one hand, then retracted four of his fingers, pointing one to the sky. It was obvious from this gesture that he was about to say something outrageous.

"That's enough, you should leave now." Someone whispered in Qin Ming's ear; going too far was really not good.

Qin Ming had no choice but to slowly retract his index finger, turn around, and drift away, leaving everyone with a transcendent and unforgettable silhouette.

Behind him, a group of young disciples from the Sixth Ancestral Court shouted his name.

Qin Ming didn't feel uncomfortable at all when he made those arrogant remarks. What's wrong with being assertive? Because right now, he was just Qi Zizai.

He thought the matter was over, but to his surprise, an elder approached him not long after, saying there was an exchange meeting waiting for him to attend.

Qin Ming, is this not the end of the matter? The elders of the Six Royals Ancestral Court had not expected that the other party would "happily" agree when they had only smiled and made some arrangements.

The main reason was that Mu Huaijin and the others wanted to see Qi Zizai up close. Could it be that the corrupt Six Royals Daoist Grounds was really about to produce a restorer?

The enormous palace, built of lapis lazuli, is quite spacious, with thick pillars carved with Godlike creatures, giving it a very ancient feel.

The ebony tea table was filled with the aroma of tea, and the atmosphere was harmonious as the old gentlemen chatted and laughed.

Qin Ming was surprised to see that all the Beyond-Mundane Disciples had arrived, including the Silver-Armored Girl who had been attacked by the backlash of the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire, and the injured were also present.

Although the three elders from the Beyond the Mundane were smiling, they were not in a good mood. Each of them had a decrepit old man sitting very close to them, practically "arm in arm" chatting happily.

The Six Sovereigns were wary of them probing their Consciousness Spirit Light to investigate their own disciples.

Not only Qin Ming appeared, but Zhuo Ya and Cui Chongxuan also came, bringing the total number of disciples from the Six Sovereigns' side to over a dozen.

Zhou Shize said, "I think it's better to leave this place to a group of young people. With us here, they won't feel comfortable."

Finally, he invited Mu Huaijin and the others to another place for tea. Qin Ming's eyes shone brightly, and he was filled with excitement.

He sized up the group opposite him; they all looked at him with hostility.

"We've become friends through a misunderstanding, so I'll offer you all tea instead of wine as an apology."

Qin Ming stood up, and after the group of old men left, he was filled with anticipation for the exchange.

Beside him, a group of young men from the Six Royals Ancestral Court admired him greatly, for he had simply walked into the group alone, carrying his teacup.

"This Senior Brother Qi is truly a leader among us!" Cui Chongxuan sighed softly, his eyes shining. He had watched several matches in their Entire Process, and Qi Zizai's overwhelming dominance over his opponents had filled him with admiration.

In the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land, a group of people had been offended, and now some even wished they could fight him to the death. Some even had a glow emanating from their bodies, and their armor was creaking.

Qin Ming didn't care. How dare they act presumptuously in the Six Royals Ancestral Court? Besides, without any elders present, who was afraid of whom?

He didn't seem to care, and smiled brightly, saying, "Gentlemen, there's no need to dwell on the competition; it's long since vanished from my mind. Do you intend to carry mountains on your backs? The road ahead is long. If you wish to Near-Immortal, you must possess a broad and unrestrained mind."

Everyone present was taken aback; this madman had actually changed his demeanor, which made them quite uneasy, and what he said did indeed make some sense.

Qin Ming raised his glass and said, "Everyone, cultivation is about conquering one mountain after another in your hearts. You should let go of what temporary honor or disgrace means?"

The disciples of the Six Royals Ancestral Court were full of admiration. What is true vision? Qi Zizai lived up to his name, so carefree and unrestrained.

The people from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land softened slightly; this madman seemed more pleasing to the eye than before. However, they soon changed their minds.

Qin Ming began, "Everyone, we still need to work hard. I don't want many years from now for you to see my back as if it were an endless distance across mountains and seas!"

Some disciples from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land were originally drinking tea in response to his "goodwill," but now that they wanted to spit out their bitter tea, this madman only made things worse!

The people from the Six Royals Ancestral Court were also impressed. This Senior Brother Qi Zizai was truly too brave! How dare he say such things while standing among that group of people? They quickly stepped forward, fearing a fight would break out, and prepared to enter!

Qin Ming naturally needed to fully manipulate their emotions, causing them to experience dramatic ups and downs, because he had memorized the <Immortal Combat Scripture>; otherwise...

I can't bring myself to do it.

Beside him, the White-Clad Girl Luo Yao, frowned, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth. She really wanted to punch his bright smile, but standing so close to the people from New Life Path, she seemed to be in greater danger.

Si Shi felt that the words sounded familiar, and then she remembered that she had said something similar to a boy in Black White Mountain a few months ago.

"This..." She was extremely frustrated. To be looked down upon by someone on this path, and most importantly, the other party's record was dazzling.

"Your ' Immortal Combat Scripture ' is not bad, but you haven't mastered it." Qin Ming naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and his first target was Li Daocheng.

Because this is a top-tier Otherworlder, he will inevitably be a promising disciple who receives special attention and training.

However, he was disappointed. Although Li Daocheng was indignant, a Purple Mist flowed through his body in his Consciousness Spirit Light, gradually calming him down.

This person has an extremely strong will!

Qin Ming didn't want to waste time, so he turned around and left, settling for second best.

He coveted the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire immensely; if he could master it, it would be an extremely formidable killer. He had already mastered the Wind Thunder Force, and with the addition of the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire, it would be truly wondrous.

"Junior sister, your Cultivation Method is extraordinary, but I could tell at a glance that there was a problem with your approach, leaving considerable hidden dangers. That's why I easily defeated you in battle."

The Silver-Armored Girl originally had a gentle and elegant demeanor, but now half of her face was bluish-purple and black, severely injured by the backlash of her own Thunderfire.

Now, her eyes were blazing with fury. This madman had not only defeated her, but now he dared to stand before her and "give orders"?

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I'm telling the truth. And I can tell you how to cultivate Thunder Force. Having fire without thunder is just an incomplete technique; you haven't mastered it."

The Silver-Armored Girl gritted her teeth and said, "You're truly arrogant. You think you can instruct me to cultivate the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire after only one fight?" "Of course!" Qin Ming's smile deepened, guiding her to engage emotionally in the topic and exchanging pleasantries with her.

Immediately, the Silver-Armored Girl was shocked. What kind of monster was this? It could really give her inspiration and greatly enlighten her! Qin Ming naturally gained a lot as well, and his smile became brighter and more friendly!

Finally, his expression turned serious again. The deeper he pondered the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire, the more extraordinary it seemed, as if it could be explored even further.

At this moment, Lu Zizai arrived at a secret location within the Six Royals Ancestral Court. Within the thick fog, an enormous, strange bird sensed his aura.

Then, the Golden Haze emanating from its eyes alone dispelled the night mist, not to mention its feathers began to glow, as if it were setting the entire sky ablaze.

"Quiet," Lu Zizai said.

The strange bird dimmed instantly and shrank, eventually transforming into a tiny golden bird the size of a palm, which landed on his shoulder. Lu Zizai sighed and said, "Go and deliver a letter for me."

(There's more to come!)
