The Young Ancestor arrived in person

"Grandma, I understand!" Wu Yaozu said. Who would dare to take what others say seriously in this Strange Town? They're just friends at the dinner table, nothing more.

The Old Woman stopped talking to him and looked at Qin Ming, saying, "You've fused various Heavenly Light Force, like a stew. What kind of name do you want to give it? Shall we call it Chaos Force?"

Qin Ming immediately shook his head. This name was far too grandiose; if it got out, he'd definitely get beaten up!

"Yaozu can't stay here anymore. I want him to go out with you." Soon, Qin Ming understood what the old woman wanted from him.

If she were to go out, she wanted to ask Qin Ming to take care of Wu Yaozu for two months, after which he could adapt on his own. The old man said, "Although he has learned a lot in the Strange Town, it's not as real as the outside world."

Qin Ming said, "The town is full of high-level beings. If Yaozu can deal with them, he will surely adapt to the outside world as well."

The old man shook his head and said, "Everyone here is performing while wearing masks. Grand Void. In the real Night Mist World, someone might suddenly stab him if there's a disagreement. I'm afraid he wouldn't even have traveled a hundred miles before he becomes dumpling filling at a roadside shady shop."

"Grandma!" Wu Yaozu cried out anxiously.

Qin Ming had many questions about this place, so he asked the old man about them one by one.

"The Fourth Forbidden Land was breached many years ago. We, who used to be residents of the area, also perished along with it," the old man said.

In this region, many people follow the path of "Rainbow Transformation," viewing the physical body as a prison that restricts the upper limit of the soul, and ultimately seeking to break free from it completely.

On this path, once one reaches a certain level, one can Rainbow Transformation and depart; some predecessors have soared towards the bright moon in the sky.

However, when their descendants suffered calamity and were slaughtered, they themselves could not escape, unable to break free from the cold, silvery moon. The Old Woman sighed, "Watching this land destroyed and their descendants wiped out, I think they regretted it!"

She was even beginning to doubt whether this path was correct, because the ancient sages on the moon had all fallen silent, making no significant moves. "Now, only a faint Rainbow Light can be seen occasionally."

Therefore, she wanted Wu Yaozu to leave this area and find another way out.

Deep within the Fourth Forbidden Land, there are no living creatures, only incomprehensible "phenomena" and bizarre "scenes," which are quite terrifying.

She didn't say who, what force, or what natural disaster had breached the Fourth Forbidden Land, causing the near-total annihilation of all living beings.

The Old Woman sighed and disappeared from the courtyard.

Wu Yaozu, however, took it all in stride and showed no sadness. After all, he was born in this era and had not personally experienced those past events.

"Brother, I didn't see the Five-Colored Bottle, but I heard that it was left at the end of the town, and the monsters inside picked it up when the Divine Temple descended at night."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this; it seemed he had no choice but to make a trip to the Divine Temple.

The moon disappeared, true night arrived, Black Mist surged, and the ruins shone brightly, for a strange town had suddenly appeared.

In an instant, the town was packed with people, filled with all sorts of noise.

Qin Ming took a cold shower, washing away the scorch marks from the Thunderfire and fire on his body, as well as his exhaustion. He had successfully mastered all the laws and now felt a sense of fulfillment.

Wu Yaozu gave him a set of new clothes that he had never worn before.

After changing into a coarse linen outfit, Qin Ming exuded a sense of returning to simplicity and detachment from worldly affairs, as if he had brushed away the dust from his soul. He was free of any impurities from the inside out, and his eyes were crystal clear.

"You can't leave your body, how will you get to town?" Wu Yaozu asked, his eyes wide with confusion. Qin Ming replied, "You guide me out."

A moment later, Wu Yaozu, panting heavily and almost sticking his tongue out, said, "Are you sure your consciousness can really leave your body?"

He tried several times, using extraordinary methods to "pull" Qin Ming's consciousness out, but he couldn't pull it out. His consciousness seemed to be rooted in his flesh and blood, and was difficult to shake.

"I'm sure." Qin Ming nodded.

Then, the Rainbow Light within Wu Yaozu's body flew out, transforming into Divine Bridge to guide Qin Ming. Divine light continuously rose from the bridge. Finally, he succeeded, Rainbow Transformation into a bridge and bringing Qin Ming's Divine Intent out of his body.

Wu Yaozu wanted to roll his eyes. He had used all his fighting techniques to finally unleash that blazing sun-like ball of light. "Your consciousness is ingrained in your flesh and blood!"

After saying that, he widened his eyes again. What was going on? The inside of the ball of light seemed even more dazzling, as if it had been hidden and obscured.

"Holy crap, how did your mastered Primal Chaos Force come out with it?" He was stunned. No wonder he couldn't pull it; he had almost used all his strength just now!

"How did it turn into Primal Chaos Force again?" Qin Ming asked, puzzled.

Wu Yaozu said, "My grandmother said that your Heavenly Light Force used to have many names, and the old man who entered the Divine Temple called it that."

He found it outrageous. How could this Heavenly Light Force be similar to consciousness? It could even travel with Spirit Travel! If that were the case, it would be far too lethal to Yin Spirit that had not reached the Pure Yang level!

Qin Ming assessed his own condition and felt that after combining the Heavenly Light Force with the medicine and Primal Chaos Unification Guiyi, he was stronger than before. "Brother, don't shrink to the size of a palm, it's disproportionate to our size." Wu Yaozu looked down at him.

Qin Ming's main purpose was to cover himself in Torn Cloth for protection, but after thinking about it, he realized that being different from ordinary people would make him easier to be targeted. Instantly, he grew larger and transformed into a figure in green robes, Torn Cloth woven from Exotic Metal into his bosom.

"Is this a real small town?!"

Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu entered the town and immediately sensed that the cobblestone streets and buildings on both sides were not a dream. Wu Yaozu nodded and said, "To outsiders, it may seem like a dream, but the location truly exists; it's a real Spirit Travel."

"Will people die?" Qin Ming asked.

Wu Yaozu shook his head and said, "Normally, no. Many people receive special items and travel here in Spirit Travel, which is equivalent to being protected."

Qin Ming said, "Wouldn't it be better if the two of us came in with our physical bodies?"

Wu Yaozu explained, "That's not good. The Strange Town is designed for those who Spirit Travel; entering it with your physical body would result in enormous losses each time."

"Was that Divine Temple real too?"

Wu Yaozu nodded and said, "Yes, but all the creatures inside are dead, and they've formed some strange things. Especially the owner there likes to pull people aside to discuss Daoist principles; it's too terrifying, and no one dares to go in."

The town is bright, though there are no Fire Spring. But the houses along the road are all lit with lamps, which have been burning continuously since ancient times and have never been extinguished, welcoming countless generations of Spirit Travelers.

There are many shops on the street, which are rewards earned by the Spirit Travelers have made significant contributions, and they can operate here.

"Candied hawthorn berries!" Qin Ming froze upon hearing this voice. This was Strange Town known for its powerful figures, and they were actually selling this kind of thing?

Wu Yaozu said, "The Soul Tonic has a rather mundane name, but it's actually made by brewing Soul Flowers, and it's very expensive." "Giant Immortal Peach of Immortality!" some people were also calling out.

Obviously, this name is not very down-to-earth, but it certainly doesn't refer to peaches from Beyond Heaven.

"Little Wu, you're here!" As soon as the two entered the town, someone came over to greet them, seemingly quite familiar with Wu Yaozu.

"Brother Little Wu, you've arrived very early today." Some people came forward, very enthusiastically. This was mainly because the two buildings at opposite ends of the town were too unusual.

No one could enter that dilapidated little courtyard except for Wu Yaozu, who lived there year-round. Clearly, many people already knew that he was a local native.

At the other end of the Strange Town, there was a group of buildings that were the complete opposite. Everyone could go inside, but once inside the core Divine Temple, they could never come out again.

Some people looked at Qin Ming with enthusiasm and said, "Brother, you are really amazing. You actually found this place in your true form and even stayed in this courtyard. How did you do that?"

"I woke up and found myself lying there," Qin Ming replied.

The man who asked the question had a strange look in his eyes. If this were the real world, his face would have already darkened. Who would dare to treat him so casually? But here, his status was useless, and he couldn't act as he pleased.

Qin Ming knew that some people wanted to find out from him what real-world location this was, but he naturally wouldn't reveal it. Even though what he had just said was the truth, those people simply wouldn't believe him.

A young man with a vertical eye between his eyebrows walked over, smiling, and said, "Little Wu, these are the brothers who recently moved into the courtyard. Why don't you introduce them?"

"Li Wanqiu," Qin Ming answered himself, giving himself a name at random.

He already knew that no one here could be trusted. The gentle-looking boy might be an old monster from the Night Mist World. And the so-called bright-eyed, white-toothed girl might actually be a giant spider in reality.

"Your name has a very high connotation!" said the blond old man riding on Four-Tusked White Elephant as he passed by.

"Could it be Cao Qianqiu?" asked a young man whose Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light. He had a purple pattern between his eyebrows, which was quite extraordinary.

Qin Ming thought there might actually be Old Senior among them! He immediately shook his head and said, "I have no relation to him."

"It's fate that we met today. My treat, how about we go for a drink?" the three-eyed man said with a smile.

The others were also quite enthusiastic and wanted to get to know Qin Ming, because for many of them this was the first time in all these years that someone had come to this area in their true form, and they guessed that he might be an important person.

Some even suspect that he might be Cao Qianqiu.

However, they then shook their heads. Lao Cao was known for his domineering nature; he wouldn't be so amiable if he were really the one doing it.

He seemed to want to poke a deep hole in the ground when he stepped on it, and he seemed to want to carve a huge hole in the sky when he stood in the air.

"I've already said it, this time I'll treat you to a meal at the Immortal Abode Pavilion. We'll invite the two Divine Maiden later," a young man with a single golden horn said with a smile.

"Forget it, who knows who this Divine Maiden really is? She might even be a five-hundred-year-old demon."

Someone chimed in, "Yeah, so-called fairies might all be old men with full beards. Hey, Little Wu, don't be angry, I wasn't talking about your beard."

Then they fell silent, because they felt a chill run down their spines.

On the brightly lit street, a silver-haired girl walked by. Her Divine Wisdom was so intense that it formed layers upon layers of Divine Ring around her, making her appear hazy and indistinct.

"The True God has arrived! That was all a joke, haha." Someone laughed it off, showing some apprehension towards the silver-haired girl. Wu Yaozu spoke up, "Everyone, my brother has to go to the Divine Temple, so he can't join you for your get-together today."

"What?!" The group of people were immediately shocked.

What a ruthless person! Daring to enter that ancient temple where certain death was certain.

People doubt that even if Lao Cao goes in, he might not be able to come out.

"Brother, this is a magnificent feat! You should have a couple of cups of divine wine before going in." Even the blond old man sitting on the Four-Tusked White Elephant looked astonished and wanted to offer him the divine wine.

"Senior, you are truly amazing! You dared to venture into the Divine Temple alone!" someone exclaimed in amazement, no longer daring to call him brother, feeling that he was indeed a Old Senior with profound skills.

Even the silver-haired girl with a formidable background looked over, revealing a strange expression, and the layers of Divine Ring around her body rippled slightly.

"Everyone, you've misunderstood. I'm not some Old Senior." Qin Ming didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility.

He felt it was too risky; if he managed to freeload and was exposed, and there were one or two Old Senior here who would definitely hold him accountable.

He knew that while the Strange Town was not a place to act rashly, it didn't mean that Spirit Travelers had never died there.

Wu Yaozu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Everyone, I remember that some of you have broken through the outer area of Divine Temple and walked out alive. Could you tell my brother the details?"

It's quiet here now.

People realized that this was probably not some Old Senior; he wasn't actually going to enter the core Divine Temple and actually needed to ask others for information and gain experience. Immediately, the three-eyed man who had suggested going for a small gathering fell silent.

Even the one-horned youth who had been clamoring to treat everyone to a meal at the Immortal Abode Pavilion and invite the Divine Maiden to sit with him fell silent.

Even the old man riding on the Four-Tusked White Elephant remained silent, letting the Old Elephant stroll leisurely down the street.

Many people speculate that this is a hot-blooded young man whose true form accidentally arrived here, but he will probably meet with misfortune at the Divine Temple soon.

Accompanied by Wu Yaozu, Qin Ming walked towards the other end of the Strange Town.

Many people followed him, even though they knew it was unlikely he would succeed, but they all wanted to witness such a scene of someone going to their death.

The brightly lit streets were bustling with people, many of whom had come after hearing the news.

At the edge of the town, a cluster of ancient buildings stood, rather desolate, with weeds growing on the steps in front of the temple.

Qin Ming pushed open the old courtyard gate and walked straight into the first courtyard. Immediately, a grand chanting sound resounded throughout the quiet, overgrown temple.

Moreover, the first courtyard lit up, becoming extremely dazzling, with golden light spilling across the ground, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled holiness and peace. At the same time, people saw the young man who walked forward alone, his entire body radiating light like the blazing sun, blending seamlessly with the first courtyard.

Qin Ming frowned. He hadn't expected this. Had the local master intervened? Was he probing his background and causing his Heavenly Light to shine through?

"What's going on? Is that Pure Yang Light, or Heavenly Light Force? I feel like it's both!" "Hiss, could it be that a Young Ancestor has personally arrived? Otherwise, how could this be!"

Behind them, some people's expressions changed slightly, then became serious, while many others were stunned.

(There's more to come!)
