Exchange gathering

Slightly Talking Finch covered her beak with her small wings, but it was too late; the long-standing case had been solved.

The purple-haired girl nearly dropped the crystal wine glass in her hand, her languid demeanor vanishing, her beautiful eyes now wide open.

How could she forget the so-called "single-handedly conquering Golden Chicken Ridge"? Because she was the "rider" in that story.

In a sense, she was also a protagonist, one of only two participants that night.

That night, one was rampaging through the battlefield, while the other was carrying a heavy burden.

Whenever she thought of that night, she felt extremely ashamed and angry, realizing that she, a direct descendant of the dignified Violet Lightning Founding Ancestor, had actually suffered such a tragic fate.

What drove her crazy was that later, outside Red Haze City, she had just finished bathing when she was "requisitioned" and became a mount for the second time.

Most importantly, this person eventually revealed himself to be the same person from before.

The purple-haired girl couldn't eat or sleep for a long time, wanting to find that villain and take revenge.

Talking Finch threw down her small wine cup and quickly advised, "Princess, calm down. You need to consider the occasion. This place is full of Immortal Seed, God Seed, and Ghost Seed from all walks of life, all of great importance. Don't cause trouble here."

The purple-haired girl suddenly lifted it up, her face full of anger and resentment. This guy already knew the truth and dared to keep it from her!

"Princess, it hurts! Put me down first, it won't be good if it attracts attention," Talking Finch said, hiccuping.

"What's wrong with that!" The purple-haired girl, her hair standing on end, got up, ready to confront Qin Ming.

Talking Finch said, "Princess, you don't want everyone to know what happened that night, do you?"

The Purple-Clad Girl was taken aback; why did it sound so ambiguous and outrageous?

Immediately, she thought of just squeezing the bird to death!

Talking Finch quickly gestured for her to look, noticing strange, probing glances coming from around them.

"Let's think this through carefully; we can't afford to make a scene here," Talking Finch further advised, then whispered, "Perhaps it's not a bad thing; we could talk to him."

Qin Ming and Xiang Yiwu stood together, chatting quite congenially.

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and when he turned around, he saw the purple-haired girl staring at him.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, took a glass of wine from the tray of the envoy beside him, gestured to her, and then took a small sip.

The purple-haired girl had just regained her composure when she saw him raise his glass from afar, and she almost lost her guard again, her shimmering purple hair fluttering even without wind.

Talking Finch said, "Princess, look, he's a very nice person, polite and gentlemanly."

"You're his spy planted next to me, aren't you!"

The strategist Talking Finch said, "Princess, you've misunderstood. He doesn't know you at all. You've just met by chance. You can make use of him!"

How could Qin Ming not recognize her? He had seen her in human form in the Divine City of the Blue Giant Centipede.

But for now, he thinks it's best to pretend to be a stranger.

The Giant Palace, built of lapis lazuli, is adorned with crystal lamps that refract dazzling colors.

Many people came at the invitation and gathered in small groups to chat.

Qin Ming noticed many familiar faces, such as Xin Youdao, Jiang Ruoli, and Ling Yu, who all came over to greet him warmly.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Brother Qin, you are truly amazing. The battle on the plateau has really raised a banner for the young disciples of the New Life Path, sweeping away the previous slump," Ling Yu exclaimed.

He was on both paths, and now he admired Qin Ming's achievements on the New Life Path to the point of complete admiration and submission.

Previously, he had some ideas in mind, hoping to spar with Qin Ming again after he had made further progress, but now it seems there's no need to compete at all.

Qin Ming laughed and said, "We're all on the One of Us, so there's no need for such praise."

Xin Youdao knew more, thinking to himself that back in the Secret Realm, "Qin Demon One" had already defeated Immortal Seed and even beaten up Lao Cao!

If this were to be exposed, it would surely cause an uproar in Kunlun City.

He believes that it would not be surprising if such a person were to produce any amazing performances in the future.

"Qin Ming!" Zhao Yaoting, God Seed of the Esoteric Sect, approached, holding a crystal glass with a smile. He lightly clinked glasses with Qin Ming and asked, "How did you suddenly disappear on the Vermilion Bird Airship that day?"

Qin Ming had a good impression of him and sighed, "I accidentally fell from the sky and narrowly escaped death."

Another member of the God Seed Esoteric Sect, Cai Jingcheng, also came along; he had also traveled on the Vermilion Bird Airship.

He began, "Your disappearance that day gave us quite a fright. It's good that you're alright. When we first met you, we didn't know your background. When we saw you again, you were already famous Kunling. Many people were saying that you were the future Ancestor of the New Life Path."

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "That's just flattery to kill. Don't Say More things like that. For us New Life Evolver, we have to slow down from the Second Realm onwards. The path is full of obstacles and difficulties, and we have to endure the years to reach our goal."

Zhao Yaoting said, "You're being modest. There are always a few exceptions. I feel that you won't be trapped by time and will be able to break through quickly, which will surprise your peers on other paths. In the end, they'll find that they can't shake you off no matter what."

Immediately, many people nearby looked over.

Many people know that Qin Ming is not afraid of people at the same level at this stage, but his road ahead is extremely difficult. From now on, the slow pace of cultivation will torment him for hundreds of years.

"Is this the Tathagata?" Cai Jingcheng changed the subject.

"Just a lowly outcast," Xiang Yiwu said. With his physique, incredibly large and imposing, he would attract attention wherever he went.

People nearby were astonished; were the two Heavenly Prodigy from New Life Path really so low-key?

It should be noted that a couple of days ago, the Ancestor of New Life Path were all incredibly hot-blooded, arrogant, and short-tempered, and they beat Cao Qianqiu into a Cao Four.

People sighed, saying that the two generations were really reversed.

On the New Life Path, the young are as steady as Old Dog, while the old are still "young and vigorous," their passion never extinguished!

In the distance, Zheng Maoze's expression was complicated. He had pulled some strings and managed to get an invitation, allowing him to enter the venue smoothly. Seeing Qin Ming standing alongside the God Seed and the Immortal Seed, he could only sigh, his heart filled with unease.

"This is his most glorious moment, when he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Immortal Seed and God Seed. But soon, the gap will widen rapidly, and his cultivation speed will not be able to keep up!"

This wasn't just Zheng Maoze's idea; it was the thought of others as well, with 90% of people believing it.

In the distance, Cui Chonghe stood with several top successors from the Ancient Immortal Dojo. He glanced over indifferently, showing no concern.

His belief was strong, firm, and unshakable. In his eyes, his peers on the New Life Path, whether they were the Abandoned Son or those who would become more outstanding in the future, could only look at his back from afar until they could no longer see him at all.

On the other side, Li Qingxu spoke less. Compared to the past, he was much quieter, and many people saw him as somewhat lonely.

Beside him, Sun Jingxiao, a fellow Immortal Seed from the Pure Land, comforted him, "Junior Brother Li, don't worry about it. It's just a 'false defeat.' The so-called formidable enemies on the New Life Path are merely fleeting scenery on your long Immortal Path, passersby you don't need to care about. Once you step into the Third Realm, you will have no further contact with them, and in the future, you will be from two different worlds."

Then, he smiled and said, "When you and I roam the world with Pure Yang Consciousness, like the Great Sun shining brightly in the sky, he should still be struggling at the bottom."

Someone nearby nodded and said, "Yes, the Ancestor of the Immortal Path also suffered defeats in their early years, but what about their opponents? They gradually faded into obscurity on the path ahead."

Sun Jingxiao nodded and said, "As Immortal Seed from the Beyond the Mundane, we must have this kind of confidence. After all, we are the most talented people in the Night Mist World, while the disciples on the New Life Path are ordinary people who were left over from the paths of Immortal Path and God Path. Whether it is comprehension, aptitude, or anything else, they cannot be compared with us."

Another person nodded and said, "At this gathering, someone will definitely bring up some difficult problems in cultivation, or bring incomplete scriptures for discussion and exchange. Then you will understand why our Beyond the Mundane can continue to expand its path."

The hall was brightly lit, and almost all the attendees had arrived. They were all prodigies from the start, young celebrities from their respective fields.

Today, many people are willing to attend this gathering not only to meet extraordinary talents from all walks of life, but more importantly, to exchange ideas and discuss doctrines.

Those from Beyond the Mundane and Esoteric Sect sects are not unfamiliar with this; they have exchanged ideas and competed in this area, and know the methods involved.

In order to gain the upper hand, some people will sometimes bring unsolved puzzles left by their predecessors, or even ask the Ancestor to pose questions in advance, and then bring them to make things difficult for their opponents.

Soon, some people couldn't hold back any longer and started asking "difficult questions," thus initiating a friendly exchange.

Chu Pianran's eyes shone brightly as she said, "No wonder this era is one of diverse schools of thought contending and various paths vying for prominence; such exchanges are indeed very meaningful."

She was very interested and joined in, even taking out an ancient book and saying, "This passage was rarely understood in our time. I hope someone from this era can enlighten me."

Immediately, everyone perked up and moved forward to gather around.

"Is this book made of... Immortal Skin?!" Someone exclaimed in shock.

Because, after getting his hands on it, he felt the extraordinary nature of the book. The interwoven runes seemed to contain rules and Contained Within, which stirred his heart and soul.

However, it does not possess the imposing aura of an immortal; it is merely a vessel for the meaning of the scriptures.

"Yes, it should be made from Immortal Skin," Chu Pianran admitted frankly. In those distant ancient times, important books were recorded using extraordinary materials.

Qin Ming's expression changed. Not long ago, he had spoken with Chu Pianran and learned that special warriors could supplement their strength with God Bone and Immortal Skin, thus becoming top-tier masters.

In the blink of an eye, she took out a book made of this material.

Qin Ming could only sigh that the environment in ancient times was too good, and "natural talents" were not scarce.

He naturally became interested and followed the others forward.

"This is a classic text from Ancient Immortal Dojo, and it's the kind that's difficult to comprehend; it must be priceless," someone whispered.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that everyone is so excited and wants to try and see if they can comprehend the true meaning of the scriptures.

Zhao Shuyu muttered to himself, "I didn't expect Senior Sister Chu to bring it. People of our time struggled to comprehend such scriptures. Can people of this era understand them? It's good that it stumps them."

A prodigy from Ghost Path showed a strange expression. He had heard of this extraordinary book and immediately realized that Chu Pianran was planning to teach a lesson to those who came after her.

You can read Chapter Two in the morning.
