Like a young Heavenly God

"Escape from Jade Capital was no easy feat..." Qin Ming stood silently for a long time, lost in thought over the last sentence.

"Is he Higher God, or perhaps Earth Immortal, or even Heavenly Immortal immortal?" Little Wu was also shocked.

The two were restless. The notes on the papers on the old wooden table were scattered and disorganized, but they contained astonishing information.

An Old God, or Ancient Immortal, whose level was extremely high, was like a kite with a broken string in the vast night sky, risking his life to return, seeking his original path and regaining his original form.

Qin Ming strongly suspected that the owner of the thatched hut was related to the creatures recorded in the "Records of Kunlun Godlike Beings".

This means that the legend has "escaped" into reality!

"Waaah..."

The sound of the wind pierced the night sky, like someone crying.

Qin Ming and Little Wu stood behind the thatched hut, feeling as if they had entered another world.

Before this, a Evil Land, and it was eerily silent.

Before their eyes, a black whirlwind howled, carrying dust and sand that stung their faces.

Just one room apart, two completely different scenes unfolded.

Ahead, the ground was cracked and parched, and the exposed rocks bore witness to the desolation of this land, where not a single blade of grass could grow.

Amidst the howling sound, a dark shadow resembling a human face could be vaguely seen moving with the swirling storm, appearing as if many black hairs were floating in the yellow sand.

This is not an illusion, but a real scene.

A gust of black wind swept over, and Qin Ming and Little Wu tensed up.

At that moment, black hairs brushed past, pricking their skin like needles.

Protective Heavenly Light and Rainbow Light rose from the bodies of the two, emitting a clanging sound and sparks flying everywhere.

Little Wu's hair stood on end. He exclaimed, "What kind of hellish place is this? A black whirlwind is blowing, like a vengeful ghost passing through!"

If an ordinary person were to come here, a gust of black wind would pierce their body, leaving them no chance of survival.

What had the local owner left behind? Qin Ming searched behind the hut, but to no avail.

The two then expanded their search area, heading deeper into the windswept, sand-filled land, their primary target being the massive black shadow standing before them.

In this barren land, it is the only mountain that can be seen.

"A ghost in the wind?" Little Wu felt a chill run down his spine. Black fur was floating in the wind, and there were many ghostly figures. It was really eerie. The key was that the sound of the wind was indeed like a ghostly wailing.

Despite some obstacles along the way, the two successfully climbed the mountain.

This is a tall, lifeless mountain. The mountain is cracked, and occasionally rocks are blown up by the wind and roll down the mountain with a rumbling sound.

Sure enough, there was something on the mountaintop: a wooden fence that had withstood the wind and sand, remaining perfectly preserved.

This place resembles a small mountain stronghold.

Qin Ming and Little Wu pushed open the gate and went inside. Immediately, the wind subsided and the sandstorm stopped. Just a fence away, the inside and outside were completely different.

Here is a Crystal Person, completely pure and without any flaws, and about the same height as an ordinary person.

A ball of light emanated from its abdomen, which ignited instantly upon the arrival of the two individuals, spreading rapidly to its limbs and bones.

The Crystal Person lit up completely, with its various Nodes connected by densely packed silver threads, as if it had come to life; the light seemed to be its "Mental Field."

Its eyes lit up, and in an instant, a spiritual imprint emanated from them—a message from the owner of the thatched hut to those who came after.

Soon, Qin Ming and Little Wu found out what had happened.

The local owners left behind some things, but most people couldn't afford them and needed to "test" them.

In short, you need to subdue the Crystal Person on the mountain to gain anything.

Otherwise, if one is too weak, obtaining those things would be a waste as one wouldn't be able to use them.

Moreover, the spiritual imprint indicates that there are four similar peaks.

In the past, the one who lingered outside the Jade Capital for Seven Days Superimposed Perfection Expert had four disciples.

The owner of the hut had been in contact with them, and based on their level of cultivation and strength, he visualized the Mental Field of the four disciples and "manifested" them in the Crystal Person.

Clearly, the owner of the hut wanted future visitors to consider the "distinguished student" deep within the Night Mist World.

Without a doubt, given that their master was Seven Days Superimposed Perfection Expert, these four must all be outstanding among their peers!

The owner of the hut briefly mentioned that the four people were all relatively young at their respective cultivation levels, but he didn't reveal the specifics to avoid discouraging those who came later.

Wu Yaozu curled his lip and said, "This... saying you won't reveal it, isn't that deliberately provoking future generations?"

Qin Ming felt that the owner of the thatched hut was being more interested in providing an "fortuitous opportunity" than in facilitating a "sparring match," hoping to stimulate and hone those who would come after him.

After pondering for a moment, Little Wu said, "It seems those four disciples are quite remarkable. Does the owner of the hut want those who come after to see how terrifying the creatures deep within the Night Mist World are, and how deep the waters run?"

At the same time, they also learned from the Crystal Person that different realms would be guided to different peaks.

"This must be the youngest disciple of the Seven Days Superimposed Perfection Expert, right?"

"I just don't know if this person is in the Early-Second Realm?"

Qin Ming stepped forward, deciding to challenge the Crystal Person to get a preliminary understanding of just how powerful this Second Realm prodigy from the mysterious distant country really was.

"Ming Ge, why don't you let me try first?" Little Wu was worried that if this person had reached the Second Realm Perfection, the situation could be very bad.

"It's alright, at worst we'll lose." Qin Ming shook his head, deciding to take matters into his own hands.

He believed that the owner of the hut would have taken these things into consideration and would not have harmed those who came after him with whom he had a good relationship.

The moment the challenger approached, the Crystal Person assumed a fighting stance.

With a soft clang, the Five Colors Saber appeared in Qin Ming's right hand, no longer drifting like smoke as before, but now solidified.

The Crystal Person's eyes Consciousness Spirit Light, and at the same time, the runes all over his body emitted bursts of Sword-Ray.

In an instant, he shone like a Solar Yang, his entire body radiating Sword-Ray light and densely packed runes, launching a comprehensive attack without any blind spots.

This is no longer Sword Wheel, but a "Sword Sphere".

Little Wu was taken aback; the Crystal Person had used his trump card right from the start.

This might be the fighting style deep within the Night Mist World: no probing, aiming to crush the opponent in the shortest possible time.

At the mountaintop, dazzling light shone everywhere, and the Crystal Person unleashed hundreds, even thousands, of sword beams.

Five-colored light mist appeared around Qin Ming's body, as if there were light wheels spinning rapidly in all directions, blocking and quickly shredding the dense sword light.

At the same time, he wielded his knife forward and slashed at the Crystal Person.

During this process, the Five Colors Saber and its halo became even more dazzling, piercing through the dark night sky.

The Five-Element Extraordinary Art resonated, and the true meaning of the Five Elements transformed into Five-Colored Divine Radiance. The knife in his hand was dazzlingly brilliant, as if it were about to cleave the boundary between life and death.

Amidst the clanging sounds, the Crystal Person's entire body erupted with runes, dazzlingly bright, as he fought a life-or-death battle, enduring the Five Colors Saber head-on.

"This Crystal Guy is incredibly strong!" Little Wu exclaimed solemnly. There aren't many Second Realm opponents who can make Ming Ge fight so seriously.

The instant Qin Ming drew his sword with his right hand, his left palm also struck forward, and the "Fire Shuttle," which he had comprehended from the <Li Fire Scripture>, materialized and shot out carrying endless flames.

With a deafening boom, the forest of sword lights in front of them was shattered by the blinding Fire Shuttle, which seemed to be plowing through the dense curtain of sword light.

Then, Qin Ming cleaved the Crystal Person with his blade, clashing against the talisman sword that was now blooming in the opponent's hand. The explosion was deafening, like a torrent of lightning pouring down from the mountaintop.

Qin Ming sheathed his Five Colors Saber and began to unleash his various trump cards, no longer resorting to ordinary moves.

His right Fist Print erupted, slamming forward to unleash the ultimate killing technique of the Wu Ji Scripture — the Wu Ji Seal.

It materialized, and as its fist light burst forth, it condensed into a large, earth-yellow seal, which crashed down forward with a thunderous roar.

The Crystal Person's Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light surged and burst out of the body. A large cloud-like radiance instantly transformed into a Pure Yang precious tree, taking root on the Wu Ji Seal.

Qin Ming was within arm's reach of him, Golden Haze emanating from his body, seemingly distorting space. This was the Golden Silkworm Force Field, perfectly suited for close-quarters combat, and also the essence of a Extraordinary Art skill.

Amidst the clanging sounds, numerous golden threads intertwined, blurring the space. An inexplicable force field caused the branches of the Pure Yang Treasure Tree to break, its leaves to fall, and it was being disintegrated.

A blinding light shot up from within the Crystal Person body, transforming into a ball of runic fire that burned fiercely, illuminating the night sky and bathing the entire mountaintop in light.

This is Pure Yang True Fire, imbued with wisps of Daoist energy, seemingly capable of burning through everything, and it is currently blocking the young man in front of it.

Each wisp of firelight was a rune, and when combined, they created a terrifying effect, making the mountaintop as bright as day.

Qin Ming raised his left hand and struck forward, instantly unleashing an endless aura of decay. Even the Pure Yang rune fire seemed to possess a life of its own, extinguishing itself as a result.

Qin Ming used the most powerful and unique Extraordinary Art in the Night Mist World, the "Wither Bloom Scripture," revealing the true meaning of the word "withering." This scene was quite terrifying, as it disintegrated a Pure Yang martial art.

Then, the light in his right hand skyrocketed. It was the strong Tianguang Jin, which was opposite to Ku Zi, and the extremely powerful Tianguang power exploded.

This fist light was so powerful that it seemed capable of destroying everything in its path, causing the dim runes in front of it to scatter and explode.

The Crystal Person stood there, arms crossed, constantly blocking.

As a result, he was still blasted backward.

In the next instant, Qin Ming changed his trump card again.

His left hand emitted Dark Light, while his right hand blazed with white light; the Black and White Light erupted simultaneously and struck forward.

The Crystal Person retreated rapidly, and at the same time, a Pure Yang lotus flower bloomed between his eyebrows, swaying with iridescent colors and radiating dazzling light.

Within that lotus flower, a small spear is being nurtured, rising and falling amidst densely packed characters, as if containing certain "rules" and "principles" of the Night Mist World.

The lotus suddenly bloomed, its rays pouring towards Qin Ming, only to be blocked by the Black and White Light rising from his body. The two collided violently, creating a deafening roar.

The small spear that had been nurtured within the lotus flower shot out like lightning, piercing through Qin Ming's brow.

Qin Ming moved his hands, and the Black and White Light, like swamps or chains, bound the small spear, imprisoning it in mid-air.

Black and White Light merged and resonated, and in an instant, a cracking sound came from there. The spearhead, which seemed to carry the "mysterious truth" of the Night Mist World, shattered and was gradually severed.

Little Wu's expression was more solemn than ever before. The renowned disciple deep within this Night Mist World was truly formidable, forcing Ming Ge to employ all sorts of unique skills.

He murmured, "As expected of the last disciple of Seven Days Superimposed Perfection Expert, he is truly formidable!"

On the mountaintop, sand and stones flew, lightning surged, and thunder appeared. Two figures crisscrossed, sometimes entangled, sometimes separated, and clashed violently many times.

With a snap, the Crystal Person's right arm broke off, as Qin Ming used the ultimate technique from the Dragon Snake Scripture — the Dragon Snake Scissors —combining white and black light to cut it off directly.

Then, Qin Ming used the true meanings of Withering and Flourishing Wither Bloom Scripture, yin and yang from the "Black White Scripture" and the "Cure and Prosperity Scripture" to strike in succession, smashing half of the Crystal Person- like body with his left fist and right palm, rendering him unable to fight.

With a thud, the Crystal Person collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Consciousness Spirit Light flickered in his eyes, emanating a spiritual fluctuation, as he said, "How does it feel, newcomer? The waters of the Night Mist World run deep. Losing to their esteemed disciple is not shameful. Use this to hone yourself, ignite your fighting spirit, and your future will be infinitely bright..."

Little Wu exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Ming Ge won!"

"Made a mistake, let's start over!" The Consciousness Spirit Light flickered deep within the Crystal Person's eyes as he emitted mental fluctuations once more.

Without a doubt, these were words left over from many years ago.

The owner of the thatched hut believed that the newcomer would most likely suffer a crushing defeat, so he made those remarks beforehand.

Fortunately, he's not too rigid and can make corrections.

Sure enough, he quickly changed his aura and Divine Charm, uttering a sound of surprise and doubt. Then, as if deeply moved, he said, "A remarkable newcomer! To actually defeat a disciple of Seven Days Superimposed Perfection Expert is no less impressive than I was in my youth. You possess the potential of Heavenly God!"

The owner of the hut exclaimed in admiration, seemingly while also boasting.

Finally, he became serious again and said, "Even if you rival the Heavenly God in your youth, do not be complacent. In the vast night sky, even gods can get lost and suffer the calamity of falling in blood."

Immediately, the ground beneath him cracked open, and light shone through.

The Crystal Person spoke solemnly, "To give a man a fish, or to teach a man to fish? Or perhaps both? I'll give you what you need most!"

At the beginning of the month, I'm appealing for guaranteed monthly votes. Thank you, fellow readers.
