Intensive Training and a Breakthrough

The melodious sound of bells broke the silence of the night sky, and a Lightning Bird sped away.

It is about a foot long, with shimmering feathers that make it stand out in the darkness. True to its name, it resembles a golden lightning bolt piercing through the clouds.

This is one of the fastest birds, making it ideal for delivering urgent messages.

It has long since broken the Sound Barrier.

A pure white Jade Stone Bell is tied to its leg, rippling gently, its sound reaching the hearts of all creatures along its path.

Clearly, this is a rare treasure that can resonate with one's Mental Field.

"Extremely urgent! Jade Bell sends a message!"

Many people were shocked and looked up at the night sky.

In the Night Mist World, there are some "things" you should avoid.

For example, this Lightning Bird with Jade Stone Bell hanging from its neck.

It is said that these precious bells were all personally crafted by the Ancestor.

Messages are not transmitted in this way except in special circumstances.

Who dares to stop them? Anyone who dares to be "outrageous" will surely be punished afterwards.

A Golden Haze smoothly entered Kunlun City, and all the divine crossbows on the towers fell silent.

That night, Qin Ming received news that there would be a training camp the next day.

To be precise, he was merely a "study companion," or you could say a "training companion."

"You want me to go to training camp with the Immortal Seed from the Beyond the Mundane?" Qin Ming was unwilling, mainly because he was just there to make up the numbers, not to receive special treatment.

In short, he, Xiang Yiwu, and several God Seed from the Esoteric Sect were merely sparring partners, not among the main characters to be trained.

Yu Gensheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Immortal Path will give you a share of Auspicious Beast Blood as payment."

"Well... it's not like it's impossible to discuss." Qin Ming's tone softened, becoming quite "reasonable," and his bottom line was clearly more lenient.

Actually, one dose of Auspicious Beast Blood would be enough for him, but this Treasured Medicine is a rare and valuable commodity, far more useful than Day Gold. Who would complain about having too much?

Besides, he also needs to give them away.

"What other demands do you have?" Yu Gensheng asked him.

The main reason is that the Ancestor of the New Life Path agreed this time.

There is no doubt that the Ancestor of the Immortal Path communicated with high-ranking figures from other paths.

This aroused Qin Ming's suspicion and curiosity. What exactly happened? Why was there such a intensive training program for the seeds of the Immortal Path?

"I'd like to see the <Immortal Combat Scripture>. If that's not possible, you can send me the complete <Eight Sceneries Divine Illumination Scripture>. Hmm, and if you could also send me some legendary Otherworldly Exotic Matter, that would be even better." Qin Ming made an outrageous demand.

Yu Gensheng sighed, "This child's demands are really simple and unpretentious, just a few things, nothing fancy, but they hit the nail on the head."

"I reckon they won't agree. For example, the * Immortal Combat Scripture * has been altered and has incorporated some of the doctrines of the Immortal Path."

Sure enough, after Yu Gensheng's feedback, the other side was somewhat annoyed, saying that it was just a simple sparring session, and that giving a piece of Auspicious Beast Blood was enough to show their sincerity.

But in the end, after much consideration, they felt that Qin Ming had indeed performed brilliantly in the Second Realm, so they reluctantly agreed to one more condition.

Yu Gensheng said, "They'll let you choose: either you can study the <Eight Sceneries Divine Illumination Scripture> when you reach the Third Realm, or they'll tell you about a mysterious, Evil Land after this to fulfill your request."

Zhao Ziyuan frowned and said, "The former is a secret manual, currently a unique piece, in the hands of the Immortal Land. It's difficult to comprehend without reaching the Spirit Field Realm."

This is based on the assumption that Qin Ming didn't have the opportunity to reach the Third Realm when he was young, and that the scriptures are reserved for him to read in the future, which naturally makes things full of variables.

Furthermore, while the Beyond the Mundane provides Evil Land, it does not guarantee that one will obtain legendary Otherworldly Exotic Matter.

It was obvious that the people from Immortal Path agreed very reluctantly.

"Don't rush to choose," Qin Ming said.

He agreed to "accompany the training," but refused to do so during thunderstorms, claiming that he wanted to study secret manuals involving Thunderfire.

He didn't want to waste time and wanted to fuse the Yang Fish as soon as possible.

"Are they looking down on me? Why didn't they call me?" Wu Yaozu was dissatisfied, also wanting to earn hard currency.

Zhao Ziyuan nodded and said, "Yes, that makes sense. I'll ask around for you. Why not take advantage of Auspicious Beast Blood?"

Qin Ming experienced several thunderstorms, but unfortunately, none of them lasted very long; he was only warming up.

During this period, he had already mastered most of the Eight Sceneries Scripture.

The days that followed were destined to be incredibly fulfilling, with his schedule completely packed.

The next day, Qin Ming was invited to the Ascension Academy. Time seemed to be quite tight, and he was asked to spar so soon.

Little Wu followed, having already agreed, given his impressive track record of hunting demons on the plateau.

"What exactly is going on? Are the people on the Immortal Path in such a hurry to train all the Near-Immortal Seed?"

Many people are very curious and want to know why.

Last night, an urgent message arrived, sent by Jade Bell, which has already shaken all sides.

The No. 1 Martial Arts Arena of the Ascension Academy is completely closed, and other disciples are not allowed to use or approach it.

The four seed sages of the Esoteric Sect all wore masks and temporarily altered their physical forms, making it difficult to ascertain their identities; they were also sparring partners.

After all, this was a duel with Immortal Seed being, and the outcome was a matter of pride; the four of them didn't want to reveal their true forms.

Here, there are six more Near-Immortal Seed, all at the Second Realm.

Qin Ming had long suspected that Jiang Ran, Cui Chonghe, and the others would not seek out people of lower cultivation levels to hone their skills.

"Judging from the Ancestral Court of the Pure Land, Immortal Land, Sunland, and Calamity Land, as well as the Near-Immortal Seed of the Second Realm, the foundation of the Beyond the Mundane is terrifyingly strong."

"Brother, over here!" Xiang Yiwu grinned and waved to Qin Ming.

With his massive physique, not to mention his other body parts, his head alone is almost twice the size of other people's; wearing a mask wouldn't help.

Since there were only the two of them on the New Life Path, Qin Ming could only appear in his true form.

"We're all on the One of Us." Qin Ming, Little Wu, Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple stood together and chatted.

Xiang Yiwu said, "I just learned some information. It's said that this is related to communications from the depths of the Night Mist World."

In recent years, all paths have been actively sending people to explore the depths of the world beneath the long night, and recently the Immortal Path seems to have received significant "feedback".

This time, all the Immortal Seed will undergo intensive training. Those at higher levels, such as Su Shiyun and Xue Yunzheng, will naturally need to be tempered by people at a higher level.

"Even Jiang Ran, the number one among her peers in the Immortal Land, has to participate in the training camp; there are no exceptions. This shows how much importance the Beyond the Mundane attach to this matter."

The Martial Arts Arena was very spacious, with copper bricks paved with fine patterns, so you could do whatever you wanted without fear of drilling through it.

All six Immortal Seed wore masks, and their names were quite simple and unpretentious: Armor One, Armor Two...

They would feel ashamed if they lost to their sparring partners.

Actually, it's normal to lose, after all, the training partners are all very strong, including God Seed from the Esoteric Sect, Tathagata Disciple, and Qin Ming. Which one is easy to deal with?

Qin Ming suspected that Armor Six was Li Qingxu.

He didn't use his Eye of New Life; he sensed it instinctively.

Li Qingxu stared at the person opposite him, remaining silent. He really wanted to complain, "Did they all invite his nemesis?"

He had been slapped hard by Xiang Yiwu, swept away by Wu Yaozu's Divine Rainbow, punched by Qin Ming, and almost cleaved in two by the Five Colors Saber.

In particular, he had a considerable grudge against Qin Ming.

"Armor Six, you go first," Armor One said.

Subsequently, Li Qingxu was beaten three times in a row by his three nemesis!

He didn't say a word and silently walked to the side.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

Who exactly is the sparring partner? If they weren't wearing masks, someone's expression would probably be quite grim.

"Armor Five, it's your turn to go on stage," Armor One said again.

As the fight progressed, Qin Ming learned who Armor Five was: Sun Jingxiao of the Pure Land Sect.

He didn't hold back, using this person as practice to hone his extraordinary Extraordinary Art.

Qin Ming activated the Golden Cicada Scripture Sutra, and instantly, the chirping of cicadas, though faint, was continuous and full of Zen spirit.

Outside his body, fine rain fell like silk threads, cicada wings gleamed like swords, and the Golden Cicada Force surged continuously, leaving Sun Jingxiao disheveled and covered in blood.

Sun Jingxiao once scoffed, saying that a false defeat is not a defeat. Qin Ming on the New Life Path is just a fleeting scene that Li Qingxu encountered on his Immortal Path, a passerby who is not worth paying attention to.

But when it came to his own turn, after being struck by the Golden Cicada Force and left with blood and foam in his mouth, looking utterly disheveled, he couldn't bear it any longer and lost his composure.

His eyes were sinister as he unleashed his ultimate technique, a halo of light appearing around his body, ready to be unleashed.

However, Qin Ming's Golden Cicada Force changed again. The sound of the cicada was like thunder, and the Heavenly Light Force took shape. A tangible Golden Cicada appeared, its light shining brightly and illuminating all directions.

With a loud boom, the Golden Cicada whistled past, tearing through the light wheel and sending Sun Jingxiao flying.

This Immortal Seed was utterly defeated in an instant. His mask shattered on the ground, his hair was disheveled, and half of his body was covered in blood. His expression was somewhat gloomy, and it took him a moment to compose himself.

Qin Ming was in high spirits, feeling great as he honed his Extraordinary Art using the Immortal Seed.

Then he fought against Armor Three, who was much stronger.

Qin Ming sensed that this person might be in the Late-Second Realm.

The two fought fiercely for a long time before finally separating, each holding back some of their strength.

Qin Ming felt there was no need to fight to the death, after all, they were just sparring partners.

Xiang Yiwu grinned and said, "What exactly is the problem you're facing on your Immortal Path? You can ask us for help, to cover for you."

"The Ancestor has his own arrangements!" The person on the other side didn't want to Say More.

Armor One and Armor Two did not fight Qin Ming, but instead had him unleash the Heavenly Light Force to burn the portion of their outward-projected Consciousness Spirit Light, subjecting them to brutal tempering.

In that instant, the Light of Consciousness was distorted by the burning, and their Mental Field shook violently.

As they retreated, their eyes all held strange expressions.

Both the man and woman were shocked. The two most powerful Heavenly Light Immortal Seed sensed the danger posed by Qin Ming and believed that he was holding back.

"It's raining, excuse me." Qin Ming heard the distant thunder and immediately left. This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand, and he couldn't let it interfere with his training.

"To have such combat power at the Early-Second Realm is truly impressive. Unfortunately, relying solely on one's own efforts to break through will result in incredibly slow progress."

Elderly figures were watching from the shadows.

"Are you really planning to find outside help?" another person asked.

"Forget it. They're useless at the Early-Second Realm. Besides, we can't afford to lose face by inviting young disciples from the New Life Path. We shouldn't even consider it unless absolutely necessary!"

This time, the thunderstorm was exceptionally fierce.

Lightning bolts struck one after another in the night sky.

Inside the tower of the Mountain River Academy, Qin Ming sat cross-legged, bathed in the radiant Worldly Heavenly Light, making him dazzlingly radiant.

At this point, he had mastered the Eight Sceneries Scripture and was finally able to put it to use.

The secret-level Divine Illumination Scripture can ultimately ignite a single lamp, unleashing Thunderfire and fire that illuminates the heavens, thoroughly cleansing the physical body and consciousness. It can temper and purify oneself; if one can withstand it, it surpasses the ordinary meaning of Bathe and Wash Marrow.

The Extraordinary Art "Eight Sceneries Scripture" also has its own unique features and endless mysteries.

Qin Ming grasped the true meaning and used the Heavenly Light Manifestation to create a Eight Trigrams Furnace in his chest and abdomen. He then used Thunderfire and World Fire to refine the Furnace Body, which immediately shone with countless rays of light.

Soon after, he integrated the Eight Sceneries Force into one.

Ultimately, Qin Ming used the interpretations of the Silk Scripture to govern all methods, reconstructed the radiant Eight Trigrams Furnace, and used it to refine a brilliant Golden Core.

Then, the color of the Golden Core changed.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into Black-and-White Core.

Even the Furnace Body is divided into yin and yang colors.

Because at this moment, Qin Ming made his move, embarking on the risky task of refining the Black-and-White Twin Fish.

They are connected end to end, forming Black-and-White Dao Diagram, mysterious and profound.

This is a batch of Yin Yang Great Medicine, which is related to Qin Ming 'Heavenly Light transformation and breakthrough in his cultivation realm!

In the night sky, thick dark clouds gathered, torrential rain poured down, and thunder roared like a waterfall!

The dense lightning seemed to be pouring down, threatening to engulf the tower.

Inside the tower, Qin Ming was also enveloped by a large amount of otherworldly light. The Yin-Yang diagram rotated, and a furnace of Heavenly Light Medicine was emitting a fragrant aroma!
