Kite

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Actually, I also feel that I'm particularly close to you, sir. This might just be fate."

Meng Xinghai laughed, "You're quite shameless, kid. You're already so proactive at the very beginning. Hmm, Qing Yue is indeed worth it, very good."

Qin Ming laughed, letting him joke around.

A moment later, however, he changed the subject, tactfully suggesting that it was best not to make such a suggestion at the moment.

Through repeated interactions, he could clearly sense that Li Qingyue would not currently set foot in the secular world.

Her temperament has become increasingly pure and otherworldly. As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. She is now ethereal Near-Immortal, an incomparably pure practitioner on the Immortal Path.

The two are currently on very good terms and can be considered close friends. If Master Li and Meng Xinghai were to try to bring them together further, it might backfire.

Li Qingyun said, "After Qing Yue entered the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, the path she took to become Near-Immortal was like a kite disappearing into the night; the closer she got to the sky, the more distant it seemed."

He was very worried that if the string broke, the kite would fly away and disappear forever, or even lead to a tragic separation.

Meng Xinghai nodded and said, "Yes, Qing Yue is like a rough gem; the more it's polished, the more brilliant it becomes, gradually revealing a foundation far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

The Hidden Family naturally had some experts who worried that Li Qingyue severed her ties and left the mortal world, she would fly too high and go too far, and be swallowed up by the night sky.

The laws are still in their infancy, and the path is far from perfect. The world of Eternal Night is full of unknowns and terrors. No one knows what awaits them in the dark sky.

Even Near-Immortal, if a kite's string breaks, it may fall, stained with blood, even if it reaches the deepest part of the night sky.

The Li Family hopes that she will be safe and sound. They believe that there will always be someone on this earth who can hold her accountable and help her stay.

Qin Ming said, "Master Li, don't worry. Qing Yue has a clear understanding of herself. She herself has said that Near-Immortal does not mean severing the path she came from."

The matter of finding a son-in-law has been temporarily put on hold.

However, Master Li and Meng Xinghai still talked about Li Qingyue.

In just over two years, Li Qingyue has already entered the Third Realm the Immortal Path!

She has begun her "Tribulation Crossing," aided by the baptism of "Immortal Fire," and her Consciousness Spirit Light are continuously Pure Yang Transformation.

Such speed truly startled everyone.

Ancestor even considered having their Immortal Path become her dao companion.

Some Immortal Seed suspected that there was something "unusual" about the Eight Trigrams Furnace and coveted it. They even asked a powerful figure to borrow it for research, but to no avail.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming frowned deeply, eager to find an opportunity to use the Five Colors Saber to kill the descendant of that important figure and that so-called Immortal Seed.

"These troubles have all been resolved by Qing Yue herself for the time being."

"That's good!"

The conversation then became lighter, Qin Ming politely declined Li Qingyun's offer, explaining that it was not suitable for him to go to the Hidden Family at the moment, because the path he had planned for himself did not allow him to stay in one place for long.

For the next two days, Qin Ming stayed at the Mountain River Academy and did not go out.

He had been studying Extraordinary Art and had even mastered the basics of the "Wither Bloom Scripture" (Scripture of Withering and Flourishing).

The main reason is that he had practiced the "Wither Scripture" before, so he picked it up exceptionally quickly this time.

His original plan to visit friends was put on hold because he was considered a celebrity among his peers, and now Kunling Dragon-Snake, with many eyes watching him.

Rumors suggest that none of the major players have left.

Moreover, more and more people are coming.

It is said that Founding Ancestor Assembly is currently being held in the city.

The giants of New Life Path, Immortal Path, and Secret Path met to discuss whether to unseal a portion of the "Ancient Kunlun" area, as it contains rare resources.

Of course, the most important matter was the Great Wilderness Expansion work, which was officially put on the agenda!

In addition, the Old Ancestor of the Ghost Path and the leader of the Ancient Immortal Dojo also got involved and made contact with the giants of each road.

"Breaking news! Ancestor will be giving a sermon soon!" This big news exploded.

Moreover, some sources have revealed that Ancestor will be taking the stage to preach in the future.

In an instant, Kunlun City became a hub of activity for people from all directions.

Many people were excited and full of anticipation. And from all over the Night Mist World, upon hearing the news, many people rode exotic birds at breakneck speed to arrive.

In the evening, Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu left their residence to attend a gathering at the neighboring Ascension Academy.

Two days ago, they received an invitation, which they did not refuse, to attend a so-called Young Disciple Exchange Meeting.

Clearly, all those who were able to attend were extraordinary; genius was merely the threshold.

Under the cover of night, the Ascension Academy covers a vast area, with various magnificent buildings situated amidst rising Immortal Mist, making it quite extraordinary.

A Giant Palace built of lapis lazuli, brightly lit.

In the distance, many students were watching.

To their surprise, they found that Luo Lianqing, the "fairy flower" of the academy, was there busily running around, directing some people to set up the scene.

"Sigh, everyone who's come this time is a big shot. Only a disciple of Fairy Luo's caliber is qualified to attend."

Many students envy Ascension Academy, including some young geniuses, but they are not among those invited.

As night deepened, the attendees began to arrive.

"Su Shiyun from the Immortal Land and Leng Feiyue from the Sunland have arrived together!" some people exclaimed.

Those two were very famous; anyone who walked the Immortal Path knew of these two Immortal Seed.

Subsequently, Zhao Yaoting, Tang Yutian, Cai Jingcheng, and others from the Esoteric Sect arrived. All of them were God Seed and had shown extremely amazing performances when hunting demons on the plateau.

"Hey, those new guys look so pale, what's going on?" someone noticed.

Some guessed their identities: they were newly emerged Ghost Path cultivators, not people of this era.

Many people's expressions changed.

In ancient times, the Ghost Path was one of the most hated evil paths, which aroused public anger and led to a concerted effort to eradicate it.

"Don't worry, with the Ancestor in charge, they can't cause any trouble. It's said that the Old Ancestor of the Ghost Path personally came and said that they are on the orthodox path, not those Evil Cultivator follow the Evil Ghost Path."

The appearance of the ancients caused a stir, and even those attending the gathering looked in their direction.

"That's Cui Chonghe, Sun Taichu's last disciple, renowned throughout the Night Mist World. He's truly handsome and otherworldly, worthy of being called Near-Immortal!" Cui Chonghe's appearance sparked heated discussion.

In the distance, many of the students walking the Immortal Path, regardless of gender, looked on with eager eyes.

Kunling has many academies and Daoist temples, and naturally, outstanding disciples are invited to come, such as Xin Youdao and Lu Dao, who Pure Yang Body.

Qin Ming's appearance drew a lot of attention and caused quite a stir.

The main reason is that he obtained the most Auspicious Beast Blood during his hunt on the plateau this time, so it was impossible for him not to attract attention.

Besides Qin Ming, people were also talking about Little Wu.

"The bald boy next to him is also quite remarkable; he obtained more than two portions of Auspicious Beast Blood!"

Wu Yaozu, with his keen hearing, almost went to hit someone.

He vowed never to have short hair again; this wasn't the first time he had been stigmatized.

"That's Qin Ming! A prodigy on my New Life Path!" Naturally, many New Life Evolver here had their eyes burning with fervor, believing that he was destined to be the future Ancestor!

"He is indeed powerful, but if he wants to rise to prominence, the road ahead is long and arduous. It will take at least several hundred years before he has any hope of becoming Ancestor," said a disciple on the Immortal Path.

Then, someone added that this was under the condition that nothing unexpected happened!

Although the people of New Life Path were dissatisfied and didn't like hearing such words, they were also somewhat helpless. This was the truth, and even the Ancestor couldn't solve this problem.

Giant Palace built of lapis lazuli, there are many exquisite crystal lamps, each containing Sun Stone, which illuminate the space with dazzling light.

After Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu arrived, they encountered many acquaintances who came over to greet them, such as Gan Jincheng and Jiang Ruoli.

In fact, many people are secretly observing him.

A Purple-Clad Woman appeared in Qin Ming's field of vision. She was exceptionally outstanding. After seeing him, she took the initiative to walk over.

He was astonished, for this was not a person of this era!

Chu Pianran was dressed in purple, with long black hair reaching her waist. She exuded an ethereal aura, with eyebrows like distant mountains and a delicate oval face. She came from Ancient Immortal Dojo.

Qin Ming felt a sense of unreality. This was an ancient person, yet she had actually appeared alive. When he fought her, he initially thought he was "too immersed in the role," and that what he saw was "scenery of the past."

Chu Pianran possessed unparalleled beauty and was renowned in ancient times. She was a legendary figure, and there are even records of her in some Ancient Texts.

She engaged Qin Ming in a duel using a Consciousness Spirit Light, but narrowly lost by only one move.

"We meet again," Chu Pianran greeted her.

With her bright eyes and white teeth, her slight smile was incredibly captivating to many of the young disciples nearby, who couldn't take their eyes off her.

"Greetings, Fairy Chu. Your presence in this world, seemingly from ancient times, feels like a dream," Qin Ming replied, indeed experiencing a sense of temporal displacement.

It was quite unusual for him to reunite with an ancient person in this way.

"Just call me Pianran." Chu Pianran is very adaptable. Even though she doesn't belong to this era, she can quickly integrate into the new environment.

"In that case, just call me 'Ming,' my name is Yaozu," Little Wu said, taking the initiative to greet him.

Qin Ming quickly sent him aside, because his social Niu Ben had kicked in.

In fact, Qin Ming really wanted to talk to this woman about some ancient laws, hoping to integrate himself into the New Life Path.

Chu Pianran said, "It's truly unexpected that in later generations, a hundred schools of thought contended, a myriad of ideas flourished, and all paths became so vibrant and diverse."

She also wanted to investigate Qin Ming; this young man's performance in battles at the same level was truly extraordinary.

Back in the day, she had never lost a sword duel with her peers, but in this era, she was left with a bloody mark on her face by the person in front of her.

In ancient times, based on this young man's style, he would definitely have been a strongman.

But, after searching through Ancient Texts, which powerful figure could defeat an immortal?

Both were interested in learning about each other's fields and had a very pleasant conversation.

Then, Qin Ming made no attempt to hide his intentions and directly asked how ancient cultivators of similar age cultivated and how to break through to the next level as quickly as possible.

He was confident in himself and didn't need specific methods from the other party. He just wanted to gain insights into unknown areas and provide sufficient inspiration.

Of course, he didn't have high hopes, since they weren't familiar with each other.

However, Chu Pianran's casual remark made Qin Ming pause and ponder.

He felt that a very important link had been filled today, and he had almost forgotten some of his own advantages. Now the road ahead was clear, and he could set off!

Chapter Two is quite late, so please read it in the morning.
