The Sky Had Fallen

In the night sky, the red sun disintegrated, exploding inch by inch, a scene that stunned everyone!

Pu Heng, Cao Qianqiu's eldest disciple, possessed extremely profound cultivation, yet he was punched so hard that he began to explode repeatedly. Where did this formidable person come from? Everyone found it unbelievable and looked at the young man on the golden bird.

Boom! A cascade of crimson lightning intertwined, the red sun sank in the west, and then everything collapsed. "Ah..."

A suppressed roar resounded, and the shattered red sun reformed. This was the terrifying aspect of Pure Yang Consciousness; it was difficult to truly destroy.

Because Pure Yang Consciousness has either undergone Tribulation Crossing or been baptized by Immortal Fire, it has already initially acquired the characteristics of immortality and indestructibility.

Why are the Immortal Path Disciple so confident? Indeed, they become more formidable as they progress, and their cultivation speed is relatively fast, allowing them to advance rapidly for a long time.

"You didn't have your master's life, but you inherited his illness."

The young man atop the golden bird spoke; his rough linen clothes gave him an air of returning to simplicity. Who would dare to comment like that?

At the very least, within the territory of Flying Immortal Institute, apart from Sun Taichu, probably no one else would dare to speak like that.

Undeniably, Cao Qianqiu's lineage is universally disliked; even a stray Doggy would want to pounce on them and bite them. This is even more true for ordinary people. Yet, they are ridiculously strong, and no one can do anything about them.

Over the years, Cao Qianqiu has held absolute power, suppressing extraordinary figures like Overlord, kicking through countless "iron plates," and overturning many monumental figures of the older generation.

It's fair to say that as he carved his way through, no one could stop him.

His disciples and followers also developed similar personalities as a result, wanting to emulate Cao Qianqiu in everything and taking their teacher as their highest goal.

Moreover, because they are all incredibly strong, they rarely capsize.

Only once, Cao Qianqiu's favorite fourth disciple, who was arrogant and looked down on everyone, kicked the "Exotic Metal Plate" and was crushed by the equally strong-willed and bad-tempered Overlord.

The other disciples, despite their domineering personalities, have never gotten into trouble.

Objectively speaking, Pu Heng was quite hated, but he was indeed an outstanding person among his generation, which is quite frustrating.

If you include everyone else in the row, he can already sit in the front row.

Many people are saying that he has already mastered 20% of Cao Qianqiu's skills!

"Who are you?" Pu Heng reappeared, standing in the red sun. His expression was extremely solemn, and he was no longer as arrogant as before. "Huh?!" A few people were taken aback, because they keenly noticed that the red sun in the sky had dimmed considerably.

This is quite alarming! Clearly, Pu Heng is injured.

His already partially immortal and indestructible Pure Yang Consciousness was actually severed by the crimson glow!

Qin Ming looked at the figure in the night sky. Was that Lu Zizai, the "Senior Brother" of the Six Royals Ancestral Court? Why did he feel something was different? "Get out of here!" the boy in hemp clothing said, showing no respect to Pu Heng.

Under the blazing sun, Pu Heng's face was grim. Apart from his teacher, who dared to reprimand him like this? Especially among the New Life Path, even the Ancestor were old and frail, with no successors. Where did this young man come from?

"You'll die if you have a foul mouth!" the boy in hemp clothing warned.

Sky-Pillar's disciple laughed, "Pu Heng, do you really think you're Cao Ganqiu? You have his temper, but not his skills. You'll die a violent death sooner or later."

No one expected that such a Great God would emerge from New Life Path. Although his name is still unknown, judging from his demeanor, he is a super strong person who can defeat Pu Heng!

Those on the Immortal Path, the Secret Sect Path, and the Other Path felt conflicted. This seemingly doomed New Life undertaking had somehow managed to produce someone capable of raising its banner?

Many New Life Evolver were incredibly excited. There were quite a few people here tonight, and after witnessing this scene, even some of the older folks had tears in their eyes.

They felt that this path was truly hopeless, and with the passing of several Ancestor, there was no hope left.

Because for many years no one has been able to pave the way forward.

In particular, where did their outstanding disciples, whom they themselves trained, end up? They all became guards or protectors of the Dharma outside the mountains.

Sizzle!

In the night sky, lightning flashed everywhere. Pu Heng drew a long sword engraved with phoenix patterns. Pure Yang energy swept across the sky, shattering the night mist. This was an extremely terrifying treasure.

The most dazzling figure here was naturally Sun Taichu, who stood in the golden Great Sun. He waved his hand, stopping Pu Heng from making a move.

"So it was you."

Sun Taichu sat cross-legged on a cloud, smiling slightly. The golden Great Sun shone brightly in all directions, dispelling the crimson glow of Pu Heng and dimming the golden bird and the boy on its back.

Although Sun Taichu appeared very calm, he was ultimately a person from Beyond the Mundane Pure Land and could not bear to see Pu Heng suffer a loss.

"I never imagined you'd still be alive."

Sun Taichu smiled, radiating a Golden Haze glow that illuminated the heavens and the earth.

People saw the golden bird tremble and become unstable in the air.

Moreover, the boy in hemp clothing on its back underwent a change; his black hair turned white, and his body rapidly grew taller, transforming into a giant radiating golden light.

People saw the weariness and decay in him; this was not a young man who had endured many years, and his lifespan was probably nearing its end.

"I want to live another life!" The golden giant spoke, and six kinds of light mist spread around him, becoming clouds that surrounded him.

"Six Royal Heavenly Light!" Some people from the Immortal Path and the Esoteric Sect were shocked, recognizing the substance that made up the golden giant.

Qin Ming immediately understood; this was the giant he had seen before.

While practicing the * River Luo Scripture * at the Six Royals Ancestral Court, he experienced a "Spirit Travel" in a state between sleep and wakefulness.

At that time, it appeared that Lu Zizai and the Six Royals Ancestor were having a conversation, with a thick black fog behind them and a huge figure standing behind each of them.

Qin Ming guessed that this golden giant probably possessed the cultivation level of the young Lu Zizai "past".

If that's the case, then the fact that the giant behind the Six Royals Ancestor he saw was stained with a lot of blood clearly indicates a problem.

Sun Taichu shook his head with a smile and said, "Your path has reached its limit. The vast Night Mist Sea stands in your way, blocking your way. You cannot cross it. Now, although you are old, your consciousness, which is a mixture of Heavenly Light, is equivalent to Pure Yang. Why not join my Beyond the Mundane the mortal world and take the Immortal Path? You may be able to extend your life for another lifetime."

Those from the Immortal Path, the Esoteric Sect, and Higher Aberrant were all greatly shaken. Sun Taichu appeared gentle, but the Pure Yang Consciousness revealed the true corrupt state of the young man in hemp clothing, and his methods were unpredictable.

Moreover, was he offering advice, or did he intend to use his invincible power to subdue a mysterious and powerful figure on the New Life Path and persuade them to join his ranks? No matter how you look at it, Sun Taichu seemed unfathomable.

Those on the New Life Path felt their hearts sink; the excitement and passion they had felt moments before quickly faded, for reality is indeed so cold.

"This Non-Self my path, this Non-Self my method, why are you attacking me?" Lu Zizai said.

Sun Taichu smiled and said, "I observe something strange about your body; there seems to be a faint connection to a distant glimmer of life. I would like to take your pulse to make a diagnosis."

Just then, a blazing Great Sun suddenly appeared in the distance, terrifying and horrifying. Its light, composed of incredibly intense Heavenly Light, caused Sun Taichu's Pure Yang Consciousness to tremble slightly.

Everyone was astonished; a true Ancestor had arrived on the New Life Path?!

Sun Taichu smiled, sat cross-legged, and the Great Sun outside his body expanded, with Golden Haze rays dispelling the clouds and mist in the night sky, and briefly touching the Heavenly Light Great Sun the distance.

Both Great Sun swayed slightly before settling back down.

People saw Sun Taichu as the rising sun emerging from the sea, his golden light boundless, slowly rising, full of vitality.

In the distance, the blazing Heavenly Light, though still intense, revealed a truth: it was now shrouded in an aura of decay, accompanied by Black Mist.

That Ancestor doesn't have much time left; he's probably nearing his end!

This place is quiet, but the people on each street have completely different moods.

It can be seen that the Immortal Path Disciple could not hide their joy. They saw an incomparably bright future. The Ancestor beyond the mortal realm were still paving the way, and the prospects were infinitely good.

Those on the New Life Path felt as if they had fallen into ice, their hearts turning completely cold. Now everyone could see that the Grandmaster Level figure was nearing the end of his lifespan.

"Excellent technique!" A voice rang out from the distant, blazing Heavenly Light.

Clearly, Sun Taichu did not confront him directly, but merely revealed the truth of his corruption, which completely swayed the emotions of many people.

The Ancestor spoke, "What is the New Life Path? At the end of decay, how can one know it cannot be revived? The Mist Sea lies ahead; who can say that the other side is not a brand new continent? Leap across, and you will be New Life. This path awaits those who follow."

However, these words did nothing to rouse the fighting spirit of the New Life Evolver present. They only knew that several Ancestor were about to die, and the young man in hemp clothing was not the new standard-bearer; his lifespan was also running out.

For those who choose this path, the sky has fallen!

Qin Ming felt heavy-hearted. Sun Taichu's gentle light shone with Golden Haze, and its destructive power was equally enormous compared to Cao Ganqiu's earth-shattering attack.

In the sky, the blazing sun and scorching heat all extinguished and disappeared, clearly indicating that there was no real collision.

Soon, laughter and chatter filled the Ascension Academy. Immortal Seed talents would soon take the stage to share their insights and experiences. Since they were all around the same age, the atmosphere felt even more welcoming.

The main reason was that they once again felt the glory of this road, and they were all in a good mood.

The Esoteric Sect Buddhists remained calm because they knew that their Ancestor and others, who dared to be so disrespectful to the gods, possessed the true power to look down upon the world.

Those Higher Aberrant remained calm, for the legendary Godlike creatures were their predecessors, and this path naturally had powerful beings.

Even Wu Yaozu muttered under his breath, "Brother, the New Life Path isn't working. It seems the Immortal Path is really powerful; I need to learn from it."

His purpose in escaping the predicament was to perfect the path of "Rainbow Transformation" and to draw on the strengths of various other paths.

"Please welcome Cui Chonghe!" said a beautiful female disciple from the Flying Immortal Academy, who was in charge of the following matters.

Cui Chonghe appeared, surrounded by flowing white mist and a faint Immortal Light. He ascended a high platform, immediately eliciting a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

As Sun Taichu's last disciple, he naturally attracted a lot of attention, becoming the focus of everyone's gaze. "Is this the person who achieved enlightenment at the age of three? Truly extraordinary, exuding a profound immortal aura, like a young immortal descended to earth!"

"He is one of the most outstanding among our generation, one of the few who stand at the very top of the pyramid. There are very few among his peers who can even catch a finger of his."

Some were amazed, while others praised it highly.

Many teenagers gazed at the figure on the high platform, their Divine Capital shining with envy and longing. Some female disciples even screamed, calling out Cui Chonghe's name.

Cui Chonghe was very easygoing, and he always wore a smile in front of everyone, much like his master Sun Taichu.

When he stepped down from the platform, he almost caused a disturbance. Many people wanted to go over and talk to him, but they were quickly stopped by the experts from Flying Immortal Institute.

"We'll have time to exchange ideas shortly."

An old man spoke up, finally silencing the crowd.

Then, another Immortal Seed descended to the stage, named Sun Qixiao. He was dashing and extraordinary, but he was clearly not as popular as Cui Chonghe.

"It's him."

Qin Ming showed a strange expression. He had met him when he was on the Vermilion Bird Airship, and they had even gone together to that "land" in the sky to collect various kinds of otherworldly essence.

He didn't want to recall it anymore, because he had fallen there, and his whole being had exploded.

Finally, a young girl appeared, immediately causing a great sensation. With her fair skin and ethereal beauty, she possessed a captivating charm and was an unparalleled beauty, naturally extremely popular among the young men.

"She is Li Qingyue. She once single-handedly defeated the combined forces of her fellow disciples. She rose to her position entirely on her own merits and is Near Immortal Seed with extremely high value!" someone said, revealing admiration.

"She truly has the looks, the talent, and the future—she's the Heavenly Immortal Maiden we all dream of!" Many exclaimed, and the area was abuzz with discussion.

Li Qingyue, like a fairy flower, swayed brilliantly in the night amidst the white mist. She took to the stage amidst the attention of the crowd, where she shared her insights, her melodious voice resounding throughout the venue.

"This woman is truly outstanding, exceptionally so," Wu Yaozu couldn't help but remark.

"Watch your words," Qin Ming said.

Wu Zu was puzzled and said, "What's wrong, brother? I was just telling the truth. You had no objections when I commented on Sun Qixiao and Cui Chonghe, so why are you treating them differently?"

Qin Ming sternly admonished, "Speaking like that is disrespectful. What did your grandmother tell you? To be polite and respectful."

"Did Grandma say that?" He looked down at the sign hanging around his neck.

In the end, Qin Ming did not go to see Li Qingyue, because the area was surrounded by Immortal Path Disciple at the exchange meeting; there were simply too many people.

With her Near Immortal Seed beauty, she was naturally dazzling, attracting attention from all sides and becoming the focus of everyone's gaze. Qin Ming, being a "nobody," couldn't possibly squeeze past her, and even if he could get close, he couldn't Say More. "A beauty like a flower beyond the clouds, above which lies the Qing Ming..." Wu Yaozu shook his head there.

"You just came out, what have you learned?" Qin Ming glanced at him. "Didn't you tell me to read more books?" Little Wu retorted.

As the two returned to the Mountain River Academy and walked through a grove of trees, a Little Wu on a branch released a melon seed, and a piece of paper fluttered down, appearing in Qin Ming's hand.

He looked up and saw the little bird, which looked very much like the one on Lu Zizai's shoulder, but now it was even smaller! Sensing someone approaching, the golden bird flashed and disappeared into the forest.

"Is it an illusion? I have a feeling that some unfathomable senior has flashed by here." A Purple-Eyed Crow flew over.

Behind it were two other people, one of whom was a particularly tall woman wearing a cloak, her whole body shrouded in a light mist.

(There's more to come!)
