Discussing Great Matters Together

The long night returned, and the world was pitch black.

All the Ancestor have withdrawn their Heavenly Light and Consciousness Spirit Light.

Cao Qianqiu felt a tightness in his chest; he had become the biggest loser.

Deep in the plateau, something flowed with a hazy glow and floated up from the ground, coming into the sight of all the Ancestor.

Cao Qianqiu stared intently at it with a deep, unwavering gaze.

It was that rusty spear that had now come back to life and appeared in the night sky.

At this moment, instead of one "Great Sun" after another blazing in the sky, it was so conspicuous that clear divine symbols were reflected on the spear.

Everyone knows that Lao Cao threw it down, and now no one is trying to take it back because everyone feels it's evil.

Cao Qianqiu looked at it, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Ever since he obtained this spear, he had never felt at ease, and trouble had come one after another.

In particular, his turning point today was when he suddenly fell into the air and was blasted apart in that instant; from then on, his decline was irreversible.

Does the influence of Black White Mountain on me still last to this day?

Afterwards, Cao Qianqiu's gaze became deep and he remained unusually silent; no one knew his feelings or what he was thinking.

The rusty spear swayed precariously, like a street urchin, flying across the sky and hovering like a ghost near Lao Cao.

Finally, it circled Cao Qianqiu once, then flew away gracefully.

Lao Cao's eyes blazed with fury; it was truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs!

Even a rusty spear came up to him and started showing off its skills, making him want to slap it.

But he held back, because he had come to realize how deep the waters were here, and that the issues involved might be even more terrifying than the great battle between the Ancestor.

The spear disappeared into the vast night, heading towards Black White Mountain.

No one else intervened; they were all extraordinary individuals who could naturally discern some clues.

Sun Taichu, Zhao Wenhan, and others knew exactly where Cao Qianqiu had brought him from, and that his recent situation had been quite evident to everyone, with him frequently "dropping the ball."

The Night Mist World Vast and Boundless, with no end in sight, filled with mystery, the unknown, and unpredictable terror!

The Grandmaster Level were not only cautious about Great Wilderness Expansion, but also dared not take the territory they had already occupied lightly.

Within the existing human territory, there are still dangerous things they do not understand, and even the Ancestor could perish if he is not careful.

Thick, dark clouds once again blanketed the vast plateau.

All the Ancestor are like bright moons, rising slowly, passing through the clouds, and disappearing from people's sight.

The sky and earth were as black as ink, regaining their original colors.

The Grandmaster Level figures have already gone above the thick clouds to negotiate.

Without a major battle, we wouldn't have the peace we have now.

Ultimately, strength makes people rational.

Of course, it's impossible to have a very pleasant atmosphere when talking while sitting on a cloud.

After all, they had just been engaged in a fierce battle, and everyone was injured.

Occasionally, a blinding light would tear through the clouds; that was the Ancestor "slamming his fist on the table," like lightning streaking across the night sky.

"What, you're still holding back? If it doesn't work, let's fight again. You kill yours, I'll kill mine, we'll cut off each other's escape routes, and nobody will have an easy time."

The sound came clearly from the depths of the clouds in the sky, like the Thunder Duke and the Lightning Mother arguing, shaking the heavens.

Outside the plateau, many people were horrified.

"Sun Taichu, you're Grand Void! You want to have your cake and eat it too!"

Immediately, many Immortal Path Disciple on the grasslands lowered their heads. How could they possibly listen to such words?

Everyone thought that the Ancestor of New Life Path was too fierce, daring to utter any words.

"You little brat, get out of here and sit down. You have no place to speak here. If you're angry, you'd better keep it to yourself, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

In the distance, people listened in stunned silence.

In fact, many people really don't want to listen to the conversations of big shots, fearing that Great Calamity might befall them.

But who isn't curious? When news actively seeks out information, who wouldn't want to pry into the Ancestor's privacy?

"Lu Yu, are you threatening us?"

"Sky-Pillar, have you been eating rotting corpses lately? Your mouth is so venomous!"

"Tathagata, you'd be better off remaining mute. You suddenly blurt out something at this crucial moment, thinking you can decide the fate of the world for us?!"

Even the Ancestor was human; he was not detached during the negotiation process.

In the deep darkness of night, the clouds occasionally burst open, a Heavenly Light Force and the stirring of Consciousness Spirit Light.

"If we're going to dig up each other's roots and sever their buds, who's afraid of whom? We have a large pool of New Life Path and low entry requirements, while for you, finding disciples with special talents and even more powerful Immortal Seed is much more troublesome!"

At this moment, the Ancestor of the Immortal Path had the advantage in numbers, but they discovered that the Ancestor of the New Life Path were not only unafraid, but were also provoking them. Each of them had a gleam in their eyes, high morale, and wished they could fight again.

Sun Taichu, Qian Jingxing, and the others couldn't help but wonder again: Did someone on the other side really blaze a trail? Did they need to die once and then New Life? These people are insane!

Ultimately, both sides reached a general agreement.

As for the bumps and stumbles along the way, they are nothing.

Only Cao Qianqiu felt resentful and bitter.

Because, even during the negotiations, that old bastard Sky-Pillar continued his daily insults towards Cao Cao.

"Cao Four, you only have less than half of your cultivation left, and a little over 40% of your Pure Yang Consciousness Origin. You are not qualified to sit at the same table as us."

On the grassland, people listened in silence. Lao Cao was truly pitiful, having received a new title bestowed upon him by the Ancestor of the New Life Path.

Without a doubt, this is far inferior to the previous title of "Cao Bubai".

The privacy of a powerful figure should not be exposed. In the dark clouds, a hazy light emanates, enveloping the area, and no more sound can be heard.

"Lao Cao, it's alright. Take some time to rest, and there's still hope," Sun Taichu comforted him.

Cao Qianqiu was partially crippled, but Sun Taichu, Zhao Wenhan, and others did not take any extreme retaliatory actions.

Actually, this knife should be concealed; it shouldn't be displayed at this stage. After all, we're about to embark on Great Wilderness Expansion, and leaving it outside is not good for anyone.

"You're not being fair! I'm a Ancestor, and after something like this happened, you didn't fight back? You used me as a strongman before, didn't you?" Cao Qianqiu said coldly.

Sun Taichu said, "Lao Cao, don't overthink it. Once we get back, you can choose from all sorts of External Gods and treasures from the depths of the Night Mist World. Perhaps we can even restore it in the future."

Zhao Wenhan also spoke up, "Their research on ' New Life ' should have broken through the existing level. Someone has paved the way. Those old guys keep saying they're going to die, but they actually want to use us to hone their skills, to live through death. We naturally can't let them have their way. Brother Cao, you need to calm down."

As the clouds and mist dispersed, the gentle Great Sun and bright moon flew towards Kunlun City.

Clearly, there are some things that need to be discussed with the Esoteric Sect Buddhists.

On the grassland, Talking Finch longed to fly towards Qin Ming, but considering the actual situation, it held back for the time being. It was not strong enough at the moment and did not want to attract the attention of some people and become a burden to the mountain lord.

"Princess, I think such a talented person should be visited afterward." Talking Finch urged the Violet Lightning Beast, hoping to use her to reunite with the Mountain Lord.

"It's strange, but I feel like he has some inexplicable quality, like we've dealt with each other more than once before," the Violet Lightning Beast muttered.

"That means we click and can be on the One of Us!" Talking Finch said.

Many acquaintances wanted to see Qin Ming, but the occasion wasn't right; there were just too many people, and it wasn't appropriate to go forward.

Some people had brief contact with Qin Ming in the past and were now extremely shocked, finding it hard to believe that he could have reached such a height.

For example, Luo Yao, the White-Clad Girl from the Immortal Land, stared intently at the figure and confirmed that it was the boy she had met in Black White Mountain in the past, which seemed incredibly unbelievable!

She and a Green-Clad Woman had briefly stayed in Black White Village, and she had even smiled and told the young man not to overthink it, as the distance between them was as vast as mountains and seas.

It's only been a short time, maybe half a year? He's already grown to this level.

Luo Yao will need several more months to become Immortal Seed, while her opponent has already defeated two Immortal Seed here.

Qin Ming sensed something and glanced in that direction.

In fact, he had met Luo Yao at the Six Royals Ancestral Court, but at that time he used the alias Qi Zizai and defeated a group of challengers from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land who were practicing the supreme method of the New Life Path, the "Immortal Combat Scripture".

"No, I have to go and see for myself, to get a close look!" Luo Yao muttered to herself. Could this be a prodigy comparable to her sister?

Her older sister stole the greatest fortune from Black White Mountain, while Qin Ming picked up the scraps she left behind.

"It's a pity my sister didn't come to Kunling."

There were too many people around Qin Ming, Luo Yao couldn't squeeze through them, so she couldn't get close to him for the time being.

Qin Ming obtained four portions of Auspicious Beast Blood without any trouble this time.

After all, Pu Heng, who was the first to launch an attack, was crippled!

Qin Ming was surprised. Each portion of the Auspicious Beast Blood was quite substantial, sealed in a crystal the size of a human head. It would be enough even for someone with high cultivation.

Many people stared intently at the four large crystals he had obtained, their blood-red hues gleaming and their Golden Haze dispelling the night mist, as if a fragment of the Scorching Sun had been cut off.

Qin Ming was very satisfied. It wasn't time to divide the treasure yet, so he kept it all with him.

Many people looked on with envy.

Qin Ming is now an incredibly dazzling new star on the New Life Path, and with Lu Zizai, Yu Gensheng, and Zhao Ziyuan following him, naturally no one dares to make a move against him.

"Ming Ge!" Little Wu squeezed through the crowd. He was satisfied with the two portions of Auspicious Beast Blood he had received.

On the grassland, the crowd dispersed, with the vast majority heading towards Kunlun City.

On that day, Divine Rosy Radiance shone brightly in the Fourth Forbidden Land, and the ground trembled violently. Some important figures from the Esoteric Sect were seen there.

Rumors spread that an old monster from the Immortal Path had gone to that area to dig, searching for something, which sparked inexplicable conflict.

Eventually, things calmed down, and the matter was dropped.

However, after some of the Esoteric Sect leaders returned, they looked at the Immortal Path Ancestor with strange eyes, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

In particular, Lu Yu, the Present Tathagata, Jade Clarity Sect, and others are all in Kunlun City, and the Sky Bearing Ancestor has explicitly stated that he can cooperate with the people of the Esoteric Sect to take action together.

Heavenly Dao, "What? You're just going to let this go like that? The Esoteric Sect, I despise you! Even the old monsters of the Immortal Path are going to poach your peerless experts, and you're acting like such cowards!"

The people on the Immortal Path were very unhappy to see him meddling and stirring things up.

Fortunately, the Esoteric Sect Buddhists restrained themselves and moved on from the matter.

According to the Esoteric Sect leaders, they did not suffer any losses at all.

When Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan, they both exclaimed that the foundation of the Esoteric Sect and the Beyond the Mundane was too profound and unfathomable!

Qin Ming and the others returned to the Mountain River Academy and settled in smoothly.

Lu Zizai left in a hurry, presumably to visit the Ancestor.

Currently, within Kunlun City, not only are the Ancestor of New Life Path, Esoteric Sect, and Beyond the Mundane gathered, but also extraordinary beings such as the Six-Tusked Dragon Elephant and the Violet Lightning Beast Ancestor have arrived.

People felt that the Great Pioneering Era might really be just around the corner.

Moreover, it is said that the patriarch of the Ghost Path appeared that day, personally arriving in Kunlun City, and even the leader of an ancient Daoist lineage that has been revived came.

They were all born from the Yin Soil and mysterious Daoist temples because the Kunling Territory were temporarily unsealed; they belonged to the ancients.

Undoubtedly, this has increased the number of paths in the world.

In an instant, people from all directions gathered in Kunlun City, where the Ancestor of various paths met to discuss important matters.

The experts and elite disciples from all the paths naturally stopped there and entered the city, making the already prosperous city even more bustling.

All the inns were overcrowded.

After Qin Ming returned to the Mountain River Academy, many people wanted to visit him, and he received a lot of invitations, some from the God Seed of the Esoteric Sect and the Immortal Seed of the Beyond the Mundane. In the near future, there will be a gathering of the most outstanding talents in the Night Mist World.

In addition, there were invitations for dinners, auctions, and other events, with various celebrities in attendance.

Little Wu was in the same boat, receiving offers from all sides. He lamented, "I feel overwhelmed; invitations to various gatherings are pouring in."

Humans are social beings, and Qin Ming and Little Wu naturally cannot be alone. They will inevitably have to attend certain invitations and activities. Now that there are Grandmaster Level figures in charge, they are not afraid of anyone causing trouble here. They are just about to broaden their horizons.

However, these extraordinary gatherings must have priorities.

These arrangements included people Qin Ming wanted to see, as well as activities he was forced to participate in.

He naturally had to meet with Li Qingyue, Ning Siqi, Xiang Yiwu, and others; the gathering of top talents had to be postponed.

At the same time, he also wanted to know if Meng Xinghai and Master Li had come to Kunlun City, hoping to repay them with some generous gifts.

As for the present, Qin Ming has stayed true to himself and hasn't gone anywhere. He is currently studying the "Earth Magnetism Scripture" given to him by Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan, Cultivation Method that the two old men have devoted most of their lives to.

This system is very complete; beyond the Extraordinary Art of this book, the "Earth Magnetism Scripture," there are further secret texts.

"Little Qin, the <Wither Bloom Scripture> has also been found!" Not long after, the two old men brought Qin Ming the Extraordinary Art he had been longing for.

Qin Ming had coveted this scripture for a long time. He was very excited when he obtained half of the Wither Scripture from the Ghost Cultivator, and only today did he finally obtain the complete version.

The main reason is that, in his future plans, the cultivation of the Second Realm requires this Extraordinary Art, and it is quite important.

"If there's anything else you need, just let me know!" Zhao Ziyuan said.

Qin Ming said, "Seniors, there's no rush. This is the Auspicious Beast Blood. Take it first and see how much it can extend your lifespan."

Yu Gensheng shook his head and said, "We've taken similar Strange Blood Elixir before, so we might have developed resistance. Let's not waste it."

Qin Ming spoke up, "This is the Auspicious Beast Blood; it should be able to prolong life!"

In Kunlun City, many cultivators from all walks of life came, making it a rare opportunity for exchange. It was not deliberately organized, but it was comparable to a grand event.

At this time, there are naturally some who feel dejected.

The most prominent among them, without a doubt, is the lineage of Cao Qianqiu.

Lao Cao was seething with anger, with nowhere to vent it.

The Ancestor of all the paths were discussing important matters, but he was excluded and not qualified to enter.

The main reason is that the Ancestor of the New Life Path doesn't like him, and the people of the Immortal Path don't want to fight because of him again.

Cao Qianqiu's eyes were icy cold as he sat in the Quiet Room, seriously considering how to Break-and-Establish a new order, because he simply could not bear such a huge gap.

He couldn't escape the sight and the annoyance, and he had no way to leave immediately. He couldn't return to the Pure Land alone, for fear of being intercepted and killed.

Given his current condition, he has no choice but to travel with Sun Taichu and the others.

Pu Heng was devastated; after being crippled, he lost all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

His only hope was that his mentor could pave Destruction-and-Rebirth Path, and help him take off again.

As for Li Qingxu, he remained calm and was not affected at all.

Because he was already mocking himself for changing his name to Li Bai, and recently he had been beaten so badly that his Dao heart was... stable.

He increasingly felt that the path to enlightenment for humanity lay in breaking down the old and rebuilding the new.

"Learn from my mistakes, study various scriptures, travel the world, and remember that among three people walking together, there is always one who can teach me." Li Qingxu muttered to himself, his belief unwavering.

Upon hearing such words, Cao Qianqiu, despite his good relationship with his apprentice, couldn't help but want to beat him up. This threesome made Lao Cao feel ashamed and he couldn't stand it.

"Little Qin, you've really exceeded my expectations! You're even more amazing than I imagined!" At this moment, Meng Xinghai arrived; he was also in Kunlun City.

Furthermore, he is traveling with Li Qingyun.

Although the battle Ancestor has ended, it is still being hotly debated by many.

Besides the various Ancestor, Lu Zizai also has Qin Ming, who uniquely obtained four portions of Auspicious Beast Blood, making him a focus of discussion.

"Qin Ming defeated two Immortal Seed at the mid- Mid-Second Realm of the second realm of the Immortal Path at the Early-Second Realm. His amazing performance is beyond doubt, and it is likely that no one at the same realm can match him!"

Do you think Cui Chonghe, can suppress him?

"We'll only know after we've fought it."

From the New Life Path to the Immortal Path, and then to the path of the Esoteric Sect, many people have mentioned him, even his competitors are studying him with extremely serious expressions.

"Don't worry, you're overthinking it," said Mu Qingfeng, a renowned figure on the Immortal Path.

He was of extraordinary status, Personal Disciple of a Ancestor, and said, "He will not become your rival."

"Yes, that makes sense!" Many people realized.

Mu Qingfeng said, "He was a New Life Path rebirth. He rose quickly in his early years. However, now that he has stepped into the Second Realm — the External Manifestation —it is as if True Dragon has been shackled, and Phoenix Bird has had its wings clipped. It can no longer fly as high or as fast, and can only travel slowly on the ground."

As a disciple personally taught by the Ancestor, his words naturally carried weight. He said, "What do New Life Evolver rely on? They have to endure the years. He completed the First Realm in seven or eight months, but then he will be stuck in the mire and stagnate for a long time."

Then, Mu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Even though he is very accomplished now, his ultimate competitor is not you, but your juniors."

He joked that if you didn't believe him, you could bet with him that even if Qin Ming had extraordinary talent, he would still have to accept this cruel reality.

Mu Qingfeng said, "Let alone within a few months, even in the next year, or even several years, Qin Ming will find it difficult to break through!"

At the Mountain River Academy, Qin Ming was also pondering this question. He had a clear understanding of himself and muttered to himself, "My cultivation speed cannot slow down; I must maintain it!"

That's all for tonight's update.
