Returning as an Outer Saint

Beneath the Black Mist, the old man's body, split in two, was covered in blood, and his Consciousness Spirit Light was also cleaved in two, turning into flames.

"Young man, I was wrong, please turn it off!"

The old man's Consciousness Spirit Light surged and howled; he regretted it. Why had he gotten involved in something that allowed him to escape the vengeful ghost's pursuit?

His Divine Capital was pounding. What incredible power was this Heavenly Light Force? It was even more fierce and powerful than the legendary Tathagata Force and Sky Supporting Force, burning like the Great Sun.

He can't extinguish it on his own!

"Spare me, I'm willing to pay any price." Even those at a higher level aren't necessarily tough; the old man was utterly cowardly.

If he had a body, he would have knelt down. He screamed shrilly, his remaining Consciousness Spirit Light struggling to escape.

Qin Ming threw a punch that seemed to bring the Great Sun to its zenith, and the man's wailing stopped abruptly.

"Only some Day Gold." Qin Ming was disappointed, and left without a word.

In a place like this, there's no need for him to clean up the mess; ghosts and monsters will come to his door, providing warm and attentive service.

Qin Ming carried the ghost and took a roundabout route, successfully escaping the Yin Soil.

"Ming Ge, are you alright?" Little Wu was startled to find Qin Ming in tattered clothes, covered in blood, returning in such a disheveled state.

"It's alright, I'm not hurt." After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Qin Ming told him about his experience on the trip.

Little Wu listened carefully, and was quite indignant. The old guys of the Great Yu Dynasty were shameless, but thankfully they "cooled down" quickly.

At the same time, he also took it to heart; high risk also means high reward. He and Ming Ge couldn't even afford tuition at the Mountain River Academy a while ago, but this time Ming Ge earned thousands of Day Gold?

He said firmly, "Ming Ge, I also need to hone my skills."

"The Yin Soil is reviving, ghosts and monsters are running rampant, and some people are more dangerous than vengeful spirits." Qin Ming warned earnestly, but did not forcibly stop them.

Because Little Wu broke through the barrier instantly last time and entered the Second Realm, it was as if he was deliberately revealing his true abilities, proving that he had something strange about him and some hidden cards.

Over the next few days, Little Wu went out early and returned late, joining some well-known large organizations.

Finally, he was delighted because he had earned several sums of Day Gold.

"Ming Ge, your idea is pretty good," Little Wu said. During the two most critical moments, he was covered in sweat and carried the ghost stealthily.

Of course, he was quite angry when talking about what happened.

During this time, some people tried to double-cross him, and some organizations even wanted to secretly eliminate him and reclaim the Day Gold he had earned. Over the course of several days, he witnessed the wickedness of human nature, which was often more dangerous than ghosts and monsters.

In the past few days, Qin Ming learned that the people of the Great Yu Dynasty had succeeded, and rumors were circulating that they had brought out an extraordinary treasure and a rare Treasured Medicine.

A group of old ghosts even broke their vows for this, emerging from the Yin Soil to fight an exceptionally fierce battle.

However, those ghosts had only recently revived and were unable to leave the place where the Yin Qi was dense. In the end, they were severely defeated and their bodies were pierced through.

Over the next few days, Qin Ming and Little Wu rested and did not explore the Kunling Territory again.

During this period, Qin Ming did not deliberately cultivate hard or break through barriers. He was waiting to naturally step into the Outer Saint Domain.

The two were quite relaxed, touring all of Qionghua City, and even had the leisure to enjoy the night view.

The Qionghua River flows through the city.

In the evening, various painted boats dotted the wide river, brightly lit. After their tense adventure and life-or-death struggle, the two also experienced this slow-paced nightlife.

Standing on a large ship, facing the night wind, holding a wine cup, Little Wu said, "Unexpectedly, while we were fighting bloody battles in dangerous places shrouded in thick night fog, the Qionghua River was filled with painted boats, the air was filled with the fragrance of fine wine, the sound of melodious zithers, and the captivating songstresses and dancers. It was truly a colorful and vibrant place."

He lingered there, reluctant to leave, feeling that this was the kind of comfortable life he should have.

Watching the singing and dancing, he said, "It's a pity that it's not quite right for Ming Ge to travel together. If only we had two fairies with us, we could stroll around by candlelight at night, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Qin Ming ignored him and gazed into the distance, towards the direction of the Great Yu Capital.

Some people in the Cui Household said that his grandfather had gone to the Great Yu Dynasty. He guessed that was a lie, but he still couldn't help but look in that direction. He missed his grandfather.

Back then, the grandfather and grandson depended on each other for survival, living a life of poverty and constant wandering. More than a decade has passed; is the grandfather still alive?

Now that he is able, he hopes to take care of his grandfather, but he can no longer find the old man.

His experience in the Cui Household was like a dream. He was treated as Abandoned Son, forbidden from ever stepping into that circle again, and repeatedly targeted.

For some reason, Qin Ming felt a little sad. He had never met his parents since birth, and his closest grandfather had passed away when he was young. He had wasted more than ten years of his life, living the life of others, and in the end, he had nothing.

He had many friends from childhood to adulthood, but once his identity became clear and he was no longer the eldest son of the Cui Household, he had very few old friends left.

"Ming Ge, I'm talking to you, why are you daydreaming?" Little Wu called out to him.

"Yes, I was thinking about some people and things from the past." Qin Ming nodded.

Little Wu said, "Ming Ge, don't keep things bottled up inside. We're brothers. You know my past. Tell me about your unhappy experiences."

Qin Ming chuckled to himself, briefly lost in thought about the past, his deep concern evident to his brothers around him.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, having already banished those unpleasant thoughts, but still briefly recounted his past experiences to him.

"Wow, Ming Ge, you're really unlucky to have such a life. But we're in the same boat. I only have my grandmother left, and whether she's still alive is another matter. She's probably just a wisp of consciousness left behind. She can't let me go."

This time it was Little Wu's turn to sigh. His earlier romantic thoughts had completely vanished. The Fourth Forbidden Land had been breached, and all his people were gone, leaving only himself.

If he wants revenge, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Little Wu spoke up, "After hearing about your past, Ming Ge, I feel that the Cui Household missed out on you and became your adversary. If they knew about your current achievements, they might try to destroy you. And the Li Household would also eliminate you. Ming Ge, your situation is indeed not good. No wonder your cultivation speed is so fast, yet you still feel it's not enough."

"As for myself, everything is fine, I've gotten used to it. My only worry is my grandfather." Qin Ming felt he wasn't strong enough because he couldn't even get close to the Cui Household and ask them for clarification.

On the shimmering river, painted boats glided slowly by, accompanied by melodious music, enchanting songs, and much laughter, while the two boys were lost in thought.

Suddenly, Qin Ming emitted a blinding light, accompanied by a large amount of golden light rain. His flesh and blood seemed to be burning, as if he were about to Rising on Rosy Clouds the clouds.

He actually broke through naturally and effortlessly under these circumstances, entering the Outer Saint Domain.

Qin Ming restrained himself, refraining from unleashing his Golden Haze. He immediately spent a fortune to rent Quiet Room on the pleasure boat, where he secluded himself to meditate and comprehend the changes within himself.

Little Wu personally protected the Dharma, solemnly guarding it.

Aside from the commotion being a bit too loud and the light being too dazzling, Qin Ming's breakthrough was uneventful; everything proceeded smoothly and naturally.

Fortunately, there are many cultivators in the Night Mist World, and the Quiet Room on the painted boat is specially prepared for people to cultivate in seclusion, with excellent isolation provided by the copper walls.

At this moment, Qin Ming was like a real Solar Yang, the Heavenly Light Force burning and completely enveloping him, giving him a similar aura to the Ancestor who shone the Great Sun across the sky.

Undoubtedly, his strength is skyrocketing. With the breakthrough to the Major Realm, his physical attributes and Heavenly Light Force have undergone a complete transformation, resulting in a significant increase in his combat power!

This is nothing short of a complete Nirvana!

Bathed in the light, Qin Ming truly felt the changes within himself. His instincts became increasingly sharp, his physical body became exceptionally strong, and the Heavenly Light seemed to be sharpening like Heavenly Saber.

At that moment, he felt he had taken control of his own destiny.

Only through self-improvement and continuous, rapid advancement can he achieve this feeling.

In the past, there were many enemies he had to take detours to avoid. But now, Qin Ming was certain that he could deal with some of them if they met face-to-face again.

Just like Li Qingxu, if the opponent doesn't make any new breakthroughs recently, even if Qin Ming has just become Outer Saint, he has nothing to fear!

Golden threads intertwined around Qin Ming's body, and jade-like light emerged, making him appear as if he were wearing a mysterious armor. This was a manifestation of certain characteristics of the Silk Scripture's meaning.

He was speechless. He had always said that he had mastered eight Extraordinary Art in the First Realm, so how could he have forgotten this main scripture? He had overlooked one.

If you add that, then there are nine True Scripture.

In fact, the meaning of the Silk Scripture far surpasses any claims of Extraordinary Art or secret scriptures!

After Qin Ming advanced to the Outer Saint realm, mysterious symbols appeared on his Jade Suit Sewn with Gold Threads. Although they were somewhat blurry, they were indeed gradually becoming clear.

This is the embodiment of the true meaning of the Silk Scripture!

Beyond it, the Five-Elements Light Wheel rotates, illuminated by the Three-Colored Divine Rosy Radiance; the Fire Shuttle rises and falls; the Wu Ji Seal manifests; the Golden Cicada lies dormant; the Dragon Snake Scissors hang... These are eight Extraordinary Art resonating and protecting the Dao.

Further out, there were other Divine Ring formed by Qin Ming's mastery of the Heavenly Light Force, layer upon layer, densely packed, protecting him at the center.

Little Wu felt that even those gods and Near-Immortal beings, if they were to revert to their youthful, rudimentary state, would likely not be as powerful as Ming Ge was now.

Qin Ming felt completely relaxed. In the past, he had to forcefully release the Heavenly Light, and each time he had to exert all his strength. Although he could do it, it was quite difficult.

Now, the Heavenly Light flows naturally, overflowing to a great distance outside the body; this is the essence of the Second Realm — the External Manifestation of Heavenly Light.

In fact, many people on the New Life Path have already abandoned the title of "Outer Saint" because they themselves feel unworthy of it. When facing people from other paths, to whom can they call themselves saints? Instead, they use the Second Realm " to refer to their External Manifestation.

Qin Ming stood up, concealed the Heavenly Light, and all the wondrous sights disappeared.

He felt his own power and did not find anything wrong with the title of "Outer Saint".

Little Wu said, "Ming Ge, you've emerged from seclusion? Your current state shocks me. If the Second Realm were to be compared to you, I feel an immense pressure would be placed upon me."

Qin Ming smiled. He felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation, his cultivation level soaring. After all, he had broken through a major realm, and this was a natural change.

However, he quickly calmed down and thought about the various drawbacks of New Life Path, as well as Meng Xinghai's sighs back then.

Once you reach the Second Realm, for those on the New Life Path, even geniuses often need more than ten years to advance even a small step!

The thought of this scene is terrifying. Normally, if Outer Saint wants to step into the Third Realm — the Spiritual Field —he'd probably be an old man by then.

Indeed, there are no young people among the true masters on the New Life Path!

Qin Ming remained steadfast in his belief, saying, "I am now Outer Saint. From now on, the path will be extremely difficult. I must break free from destiny and change my original trajectory."

He didn't want to waste half his life and only enter the Spirit Field Realm when he was old.

That would be truly tragic.

That night, Qin Ming and Little Wu drank together, celebrating his incredibly important step on his New Life Path.

The two decided to leave Great Yu Dynasty and head to the border area between Great Rui and Great Gan, from where they would advance into Kunling.

Because recently, people from the Immortal Path and the Esoteric Sect have been there, and strange scriptures have been unearthed from time to time.

In particular, there were constant rumors of trouble over there. When Qin Ming heard that many disciples of the Esoteric Sect were trapped in the ruins, he immediately thought of his old friend Ning Siqi.

"Is he there?" He was genuinely worried.

Back then, when Qin Ming was no longer a member of the Cui Household and became Abandoned Son, many people were eager to sever ties with him. Only Ning Siqi offered timely help, traveling thousands of miles to deliver the "Li Fire Scripture" to him, which was also the first Extraordinary Art he obtained.

The next day, Qin Ming and Little Wu boarded a spaceship and headed to the border between the two great Imperial Dynasty.

This time, Qin Ming will return as Outer Saint to meet his rivals and see his old friends.

The recent chapters have been a bit bland. Qin Ming has reached the Second Realm, so I'll rethink the plan and only write one chapter today.
