Heavenly Bloom
"Sword Testing Under the Heavens is an extremely difficult path for a powerful person, but those who succeed in traversing it all leave their mark on history." As the girl in green spoke, a brilliant light shone in her eyes.
Some people in the adjacent seats, after reading the contents of the Night Report, were also amazed, saying that testing swords in a hundred cities was indeed a remarkable feat.
"Some renowned Old Senior also walked this path in their youth!"
Qin Ming listened and watched quietly until much later, when the novelty of the journey wore off and the conversation gradually subsided. The Black Mist surged, and even above the bend of the sky, not a ray of light could be seen.
A group of energetic teenagers, even when they had nothing to talk about, showed no signs of fatigue. Many of them went up to the deck and gazed at the inky road ahead.
I felt uneasy. What if we fell? Even if we walk the Immortal Path, we haven't reached the point where we can abandon our physical bodies and let our Consciousness Spirit Light live on.
"Don't jinx it, you can't say that." Someone quickly stopped him, but he himself couldn't help but touch the Parachute Pack he was carrying.
The night was as Abyss as an abyss; even the high sky was far inferior to the ground, for on the dark earth, Fire Spring were sparsely dotted like fireflies.
The Vermilion Bird Airship was truly extraordinary as it sailed through the vast, abyss-like sky, its hull shimmering with a dark red luster as it pierced through the sea of fog.
Soon after, its speed decreased until it came to a stop.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes Heavenly Bloom fall from the night sky, sweet as nectar; whether you can obtain them depends entirely on luck," a woman transmitted through the Light of the Mind.
People knew the main event was about to begin.
Why did they choose to travel on the Vermilion Bird Airship instead of Higher Aberrant? It was because they wanted to guide "Guan Hua".
Even the fake people opened their eyes and came to the deck. It was not quiet outside the ship; Astral Wind was blowing and the thick fog was like a huge wave churning.
Many of the teenagers looked on with anticipation.
After the Vermilion Bird came to a stop, it hovered here. Fine lines intertwined on the hull, forming a large net that supported and covered the ship.
"Are there dangerous creatures in the night sky?" someone muttered to themselves.
"The night sea is unpredictable; who can understand it? It's best not to say too much," a middle-aged man said.
Then, the woman's Consciousness Spirit Light surged once more, informing everyone that, based on past experience, there was a high probability that "Heavenly Bloom" would descend upon this area.
Qin Ming also came to the deck; this was a new experience for him.
"It's here! I see a streak of light!" someone exclaimed. Unfortunately, it was too far from the spaceship, and the light shower quickly disappeared. "No rush. We'll stay here for a long time; we have enough time to capture Heavenly Bloom."
Half an hour later, amidst exclamations of surprise, a shower of light pierced through the thick fog and poured down from the higher sky, covering a considerable area.
This time, the spaceship slowly moved forward, adjusted its position, and actively went to meet the incoming attack.
"This ticket was worth it!" someone exclaimed joyfully. This time, there was no escaping it. Heavenly Bloom descended through the gap in the light network. Everyone joined forces to guide the rain of light.
Qin Ming circulated the <River Luo Scripture>, facing the rain of light, and captured a dozen drops that had no fragrant scent, but were all faintly glowing, carrying a spiritual radiance.
He tasted it; it had no flavor at all, and it really did taste like water.
However, he soon had a new experience. After more than a dozen drops of Heavenly Bloom entered his stomach, he felt a warm sensation flowing through his flesh and blood, nourishing his spirit.
After a moment, he savored the taste and realized it truly resembled Wei Zhi's flavor, like drinking a fragrant beverage.
Qin Ming was secretly surprised. This stuff was indeed quite good for the body. If one were to use it to make tea and drink it like water all year round, that would be too extravagant.
He could only sigh inwardly, realizing how fulfilling and enjoyable the lives of the Old Senior were.
Then he thought of Li Qingyue, who possessed the Near Immortal Object Eight Trigrams Furnace, which allowed her to capture Heavenly Bloom every day. No wonder she made many people envious.
"This is just the most ordinary Heavenly Bloom, please enjoy it slowly." The woman's Light of the Mind transmitted its voice again.
"The ship is slow, but the ticket is expensive; there's definitely a reason for that," someone remarked, praising the experience as a first-time passenger.
The Black Mist surged like a vast ocean outside the ship, and two quarters of an hour later, a shower of light appeared, even denser, covering the area.
This time, Qin Ming held nothing back. The thick night fog, carrying moisture, was utilized by his <River Luo Scripture> to begin capturing Guan Hua.
"You guys are... amazing!" some people exclaimed.
Qiu Long, Lu Xu, and the others launched their attack using their Consciousness Spirit Light, almost like a robbery, causing nearby people to stomp their feet in frustration.
Especially for the New Life Evolver, some of them couldn't even release their Heavenly Light yet, and could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Bloom was snatched up before it was even far away from them.
This time, Qin Ming received nearly thirty drops of Heavenly Bloom, crystal clear like dewdrops, radiant with light, and incredibly beautiful, making him feel as if he were drinking jade nectar.
"Excellent wine!" someone exclaimed from the side. "Everyone, spread out, don't crowd together," someone shouted.
However, there were still too many people on the deck, around five hundred. Even if they scattered, some people still wouldn't be able to get Heavenly Bloom.
Soon, the difference became apparent. Some people stood out and attracted a lot of attention each time. Qin Ming was one of them.
"What kind of technique is this? It's not Consciousness Spirit Light, nor Divine Wisdom, yet the fog surges and a rain of light falls upon him. It's so enviable."
Some people were surprised, and even those who walked the Immortal Path and the Secret Path showed surprise. This guy's methods were extraordinary. He was even better at robbing than they were. With a single stroke, he could take away a large Heavenly Bloom.
"Senior Brother, what does Heavenly Bloom taste like? I haven't tasted a single drop yet." A young girl looked on with a pitiful expression.
Qin Ming smiled and gave her two drops.
However, this set a bad precedent, as a group of people gathered around.
It wasn't all teenagers here; there were also some young adults. Many people squeezed in. They couldn't pull the distant Heavenly Bloom, but when it landed, they could intercept some of it.
Qin Ming didn't get angry. After thinking for a moment, he returned to his cabin. "It's him!" a Purple-Clad Girl exclaimed in surprise, recognizing him from a distance. "Who is it?"
The Purple-Clad Girl said, "Back then, the people from the Jade Purity Ancestral Court set up a small test. The Otherworlder Cao Wuji only managed to activate seven colors of Heavenly Light light, but he activated eight!"
"He has the potential to become Core Disciple of the Ancestral Court of a sect? Jade Clarity Sect is one of the highest halls on the New Life Path, yet he chose to go to Kun Jun!"
The geniuses who walked the Outer Dao and the path of the Esoteric Sect were astonishing, even to them.
At this level, Jade Clarity Sect and Six Sovereigns are also valued.
His disciples were deeply grieved.
"No wonder he possesses such skills; he might be practicing the Extraordinary Art, the River Luo Scripture." Some even guessed Qin Ming's methods.
Qiu Long, Lu Xu, Qi Ming, and the others exchanged glances, then smiled slightly. Although the Top-Tier Disciple of the major Ancestral Court on New Life Path were strong, they were only at the initial stage.
Their elders had taught them that if they encountered Top-Tier Disciple of the New Life Path in the early stages, they should simply turn away calmly.
In the later stages of the second Major Realm, even such a person can only look at the back of their former rivals with sadness, because they can never catch up.
"I don't know how he is, but I'll turn around first," someone said with a faint smile, then turned their back to them.
"I'll turn around too, hehe."
Nearby, some New Life Evolver heard these words didn't look too happy, because they knew what they meant—it was a slightly discriminatory jest.
The laughter quickly stopped because someone had just noticed that the boy had appeared in another isolated area.
Leng Yue from Beyond the Mundane Yang Land, Su Shiyun from Immortal Land, Zhao Yaoting from the Esoteric Sect, and others all lived in that area.
Their identities have been revealed: some are descendants of Pathfinders, others are Near Immortal Seed; all have impressive backgrounds and are Heavenly Prodigy.
A group of people were astonished. What happened to the boy who walked the New Life Path? And someone even invited him for tea—no, for a cup of "Heavenly Bloom" tea.
Suddenly, everyone who was just joking around fell silent, feeling alarmed. What was going on? After being intercepted by some young men, Qin Ming used his boat ticket to travel to a different area!
As soon as he arrived, he was shocked. These people all possessed extraordinary treasures that could quickly guide Guan Hua and other strange substances.
For example, some people hold jade cups, standing calmly, while Purple Mist slowly descends from the depths of the night sky, entering the cups and radiating an astonishing spirituality. Others hold four-inch-tall treasure bottles, drawing in faint silvery clouds.
Qin Ming was amazed. These people were indeed of great importance, possessing such treasures. They might not be useful on the ground, but they had endless uses in the sky.
In fact, he didn't know that these teenagers were given the treasures because they had a mission to complete.
The Esoteric Sect priest, Jing Cheng, smiled, greeted Qin Ming, and offered him a cup of Da Hua liquor. Qin Ming thanked him and they began chatting warmly.
Cai Jingcheng couldn't figure out who he came from, but he felt that since he was traveling with them and in the same private first-class cabin, he was probably a fellow traveler on this mission?
Therefore, he was quite polite.
Qin Ming discovered that the crystal glass of the guy next to him was actually drawing in wisps of Worldly Heavenly Light, which had already condensed into liquid!
His eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but look at it again and again.
"Brother, what are you doing...?" Zhao Yaoting, who followed the path of the Esoteric Sect, felt uncomfortable under his gaze and asked. "Throat, there's been a severe lack of Heavenly Light lately. Are you selling anything, brother?" Qin Ming inquired.
"This..." Zhao Yaoting hesitated for a moment, then took out a small bottle about the size of a thumb, containing half a bottle of clear liquid, and said, "Here, have a bottle."
Qin Ming felt very embarrassed; how could he accept something for nothing? He could only express his gratitude repeatedly. Soon, Zhao Yaoting was shocked.
Because he discovered that the boy was directly drinking the liquid formed from the condensed Worldly Heavenly Light. "Brother, you've got it wrong, that's not the Heavenly Bloom!" he shouted to remind him.
"I know," Qin Ming said, tasting it first and finding no problems. This stuff was much more potent than "Fallen Fruit."
Then, he began to savor it slowly, as if it were wine. Instantly, the young people in the area were all petrified. Could this really be done? Drinking the Great Light of the Outer World directly from the mouth?
"I originally planned to use it to refine Spirit Artifact. Are you alright?" Zhao Yaoting asked with a complicated expression.
Qin Ming was silent for a moment before saying, "I've been practicing a Secret Method recently, which requires enduring all sorts of hardships. It's currently stimulating my physical body. I'm fine; a few more bottles won't hurt."
Don't wait for the late-night chapter, read it in the morning.
(There's more to come!)
