The two elderly people were frail and looked as if they could be swept away by a gust of wind. They lacked the otherworldly air of immortal Immortal Path and were skin and bones, appearing extremely decrepit.

Qin Ming was overwhelmed with emotion, feeling both grateful and touched. He asked, "Seniors, how can I help you?"

The two men asked for nothing in return for what they had done for him, for they did not have many years left to live and were nearing the end of their lives.

Yu Gensheng said, "Child, we're all getting on in years, we don't need anything, but we regret that the New Life Path is becoming increasingly bleak. The conditions of the Ancestor... are probably all quite dire."

Zhao Ziyuan sighed softly and said, "Other paths are flourishing with talent and a hundred flowers blooming. It's a pity that our path is facing a talent shortage and a precarious situation. If our Ancestor were to suddenly pass away, the consequences would be unimaginable. We urgently need someone to take up the mantle and keep this path alive, and we see a glimmer of hope in you."

Qin Ming nodded solemnly. All he could do was cultivate diligently and rise to prominence as soon as possible!

At the same time, he desperately wanted to extend their lives, saying, "Seniors, I possess the ' Life Altering Scripture,' and I also obtained half of the ' Abiding World Scripture ' from the Cui Household."

"We've tried every possible method, but the main problem is that we're getting older, and we can't keep moving forward on the New Life Path; we've hit a plateau."

The two shook their heads, thanked him for his kindness, and said they didn't need him to do anything else.

"The Auspicious Beast Blood will definitely be useful!" Qin Ming said.

At this moment, his fighting spirit was incredibly high. He couldn't afford to waste any more time. He had to seize the last opportunity to fight against all his competitors and try to get two more portions of Rui Blood.

"There's no need for us to risk our lives. The two of us, on the verge of death, have long since come to terms with it. Besides, the Auspicious Beast Blood can only prolong life for a while; it can't solve the big problem."

"It would be good if it could be continued," Qin Ming said.

As they spoke, he and the two old men quickly cleared the battlefield; some Memory Crystal could be preserved, while others had to be "already" destroyed in the battle.

"They were all old friends," Qin Ming muttered to himself, looking at the bloodstains on the ground.

Yu Gensheng sternly admonished him, saying, "You're too sentimental, child. There's no need for any pity towards this kind of person; just kill them!"

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "An old friend I personally killed, in short, a close friend."

The two remained silent.

Zhao Ziyuan asked, "Child, your ability to kill someone at the Third Realm truly shocked us. How did you do it?"

When they first heard the news, they both found it unbelievable, as if it were a fairy tale.

Qin Ming didn't hide it from them and told them that he had obtained the Starfire Essence.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan gasped in shock at the night mist. This was an astonishing treasure, a "heavenly material" that even some Old Senior dreamed of, a top-tier, otherworldly object.

Qin Ming frankly admitted that he might not be able to fully integrate the techniques, as he has his own considerations about the future path and is still making choices, or perhaps has a better plan.

After all, he raised his Heavenly Light to the Four Royals Force simply by practicing Extraordinary Art!

"Look within yourself!"

After learning the truth about him, the two men were trembling with Divine Capital; this child was far more formidable than they had imagined.

"To have reached the Second Realm in less than ten months, or even just seven or eight months—this is true Outer Saint, not mere External Manifestation!"

"If people like this can't pave the way for New Life Evolver, then there probably won't be any more, and this path should be cut off!" That's their assessment.

At the same time, both of them felt that they couldn't stick to the old ways and that they still had to "feed" the boy, because such a boy couldn't be spoiled.

Yu Gensheng asked, "Child, the path you choose is up to you. Do you have any specific scriptures you need right now?"

Qin Ming immediately said, "The Wither Bloom Scripture, I will incorporate it into the realm of Outer Saint, and I have already obtained half of it."

"Okay!" The two nodded and prepared to think of a solution.

"Is there anything else you need?" they asked again.

For Qin Ming, Extraordinary Art are always welcome.

He asked, "What scriptures are you two masters skilled in?"

"We've devoted the most effort to the ' Earth Magnetism Scripture,' and there's a subsequent esoteric text on top of it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes burned with fervor. This was a field he had never explored before, and such Extraordinary Art should greatly enhance his abilities.

When the two learned just how many Extraordinary Art he possessed, they felt a chill run down their spines. There were simply too many; wouldn't that cause trouble?

The two were somewhat worried. A single Extraordinary Art is worth a lifetime of study for New Life Evolver. A genius can practice many skills, but he had already mastered nearly ten.

"This child is growing at a rate far exceeding our expectations!"

"We only offer convenience, not advice."

Beyond the Third Forbidden Land, on this vast plateau, the demons suffered a crushing defeat; even their Ancestor auspicious Auspicious Beast were slain, and their fate was already sealed.

Qin Ming went berserk, more ruthless than anyone else. He was accumulating rare "Blood Medicine" for his own Outer Saint Path, and even more so, he was trying to earn life-saving items for the two elderly people.

Jin Xiang, having reconnected with him, strode off, pulling the armored vehicle behind him. Golden Sheep was dumbfounded; this junior brother was defying the heavens.

His demon-slaying efficiency was too high, and they were all tough opponents. What should have been tough battles were swept away by him!

Qin Ming is now acting like a workaholic!

"No one will support my ambition to reach the heavens..." A demon far beyond its capabilities cried out in despair, killing one human cultivator after another, and actually slaughtering its attackers.

He had the opportunity to become a "Demon Seed," but for various reasons, he ultimately failed to be selected, only narrowly losing to his opponent.

However, the treatment was completely different. The Demon Seed on the plateau had already been sent away beforehand, but he was intercepted.

At his feet lay corpses; he had killed many people, and in the end, no one dared to approach the area.

"If no one will help you achieve your ambitions, I'll send you to your death!" Qin Ming charged in.

For the final stretch, he rode on his sword, protected by Five-Colored Light Wheel, his dazzling sword disc dispelling the night mist, like a young god breaking through the sky.

"The gatekeeper of the ' Demon Seed '? That's equivalent to Li Qingxu's level on the Immortal Path." Qin Ming made the judgment immediately.

At this moment, the Li Household members were all smiles and radiant.

A message is circulating on the plateau: the Cui Household has lost several teams!

Furthermore, a small group of skilled members of the tribe, responsible for intelligence gathering and personnel deployment, were completely wiped out.

The Cui Household's allies are all stunned. How did they manage to do this? Everyone else is reaping huge profits, while the Cui Household is losing face.

The Li Household's presence has been confirmed, and the opponent has suffered significant losses.

"Fortunately, we were cautious enough to pass the message on to the Cui Household, letting them test the waters. Heh heh, we didn't expect this to happen out of nowhere; the Cui Household has kicked a hornet's nest!"

The Li Household couldn't help but burst into laughter; now they were outsiders, just watching the spectacle.

Soon, they received a secret report that the earliest source of the information was actually the Cui Household.

"The Cui Household originally wanted to use us? How ruthless!" Some members of the Li Household's expressions changed.

They were originally about to set off when an older, more cautious and conservative fellow changed his mind and gave this great gift to the Cui Household instead.

They narrowly escaped a landmine, but thankfully, they managed to bring the problem back to square one.

At this moment, the experts of the Cui Household on the plateau were furious, especially after they conducted a "message reconciliation" and learned that they had been tricked by the Li Household. Their faces turned ashen.

The atmosphere between the two sides then became tense.

The two Lineage have a long-standing feud; a single spark could ignite the night sky.

Soon after, the Cui Household and Li Household clashed multiple times, fighting broke out across various parts of the plateau, essentially a "two-way race."

Of course, when they were slaying demons and gaining merit, they couldn't fight each other. Only in some areas did slightly serious bloodshed occur.

It was at this time that some people learned the name Qin Ming.

"It's said that a remarkable genius has emerged from New Life Path?"

When some people first heard the news, they felt that their understanding of the boy was still rather vague.

But some acquaintances were stunned and deeply shocked.

"Qin Ming, is he the one we know?!" Zheng Maoze and Zeng Yuan were stunned.

A few months ago, Qin Ming wasn't even qualified to be their Golden Armor Guard, so how did he suddenly rise to prominence? They found it hard to believe.

"My best brother is here too. Is he going to start shining brightly?!" Ning Siqi was taken aback, then worried.

His cousin, Wang Caiwei, was lost in thought.

Lu Zhenyi, Chen Bingyan, and others are wondering if the person in question is an outsider with the same name.

"Ming Ge, are we about to be exposed?" Little Wu frowned.

The rumors are still somewhat vague, and no explosive news has spread yet.

Cui Chonghe sneered; that was just his double!

At this time, he had not yet received the latest and definitive information.

Blood dripped from the Five Colors Saber in Qin Ming's hand; the extremely powerful demon lay dead, having been slain by him.

He then relentlessly pursued and killed the scattered demons on the plateau, becoming a young killing star in the area and the "King of Scrolls" in the eyes of many.

Finally, across the entire plateau, the shouts of battle grew weaker and weaker until they were no longer audible, and the great battle was nearing its end; in fact, it had already ended in many areas.

"Alright, all sides retreat in an orderly manner. No one should provoke conflict among One of Us. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble or cause internal strife along the way will be severely punished by the Ancestor!"

A powerful voice transmitted a stern warning from the night sky.

Because this trend has already begun, friction has arisen between some major powers, such as the Cui Household and the Li Household.

"There's no need to return to Kunlun City. Battle merits can be tallied outside the plateau, ensuring fairness and impartiality. Anyone who disagrees can voice their concerns publicly!"

As night fell, all the parties present showed joy upon hearing the news, especially some Rogue Cultivator who cheered.

Even without the Auspicious Beast Blood, there are still other benefits to be gained from the heads of demons they slay; otherwise, why would they be so eager to acquire them?

In any Great Wilderness Expansion, a large amount of resources will be allocated.

Beyond the Third Forbidden Land, this plateau contains numerous Secret Realm and great demon cave abode, all of which have long been eliminated by the higher-ups, who can then distribute various benefits among them.

"Wow, that masked guy named Li Bai has an incredibly impressive record. He'll definitely be able to exchange for the Auspicious Beast Blood. He's amazing!"

"Hiss, did you see that? A certain Immortal Seed from Beyond the Mundane, his white robes are stained crimson with blood, and his ethereal aura has transformed into that of a killing god. Judging by his harvest, it's enough to exchange for two portions of Auspicious Beast Blood!"

As the team that had swept across the plateau returned, people exclaimed in surprise.

Soon, people saw a Golden Sheep, stronger than an ox or a horse, pulling a cart full of demon heads.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was practically petrified.

"Jin Xiang, you 'Heart Refinement in the mortal world, haven't you already achieved great success? Such outrageous gains! Or are you serving a powerful team?"

Jin Xiang thought to himself: The results are not limited to this.

Even I, a master of staying up late, couldn't escape the encroachment of the night; there's only one chapter today.
