You got it!

The torrential rain poured down, pounding and pattering against the buildings.

In the pitch-black sky, amidst a howling wind, Qin Ming stepped out of the tower and practiced his boxing in the cascading rain.

At first, he spread his wings like Golden Peng, wanting to soar into the sky. When the light from his fist burst forth, it shot straight into the night sky, trying to connect with the lightning in the dark clouds.

Then, as he stretched his body, it was a free and natural movement.

Black and White Diagram appeared, the Yang Fish rotated, enveloping him within it. He was imbued with Daoist aura, his sleeves fluttering, as if he were about to face the lightning in the rainy night, as if he were carrying the clouds and breaking through the sky.

Despite the torrential rain, he remained completely dry, not even his shoes or socks got wet, and his every move exuded a sense of tranquility and naturalness.

His casual strikes were incredibly terrifying; the waterfall-like rain burst open with a deafening roar, no different from thunder in the night sky.

The lightning no longer struck the tower, but only appeared in the clouds. The fireballs on the golden tiles disappeared. Qin Ming had completed his breakthrough and came outside the tower to stretch his muscles.

He was only using ordinary martial arts techniques from the streets, yet strange phenomena already occurred.

"Your physique has improved dramatically, and your physical condition has undergone Heavenly Light change. Has this meant you have successfully broken through the barrier?" Yu Gensheng, who lived nearby, heard the unusual sonic boom.

Then, he was shocked—it was... the life force of New Life!

Zhao Ziyuan also appeared, with over a hundred hairs fluttering on his head. His old face was filled with disbelief, while the young man exuded vitality and was thriving.

This is the realm that even the old monsters and Ancestor have been pursuing!

From the Second Realm onwards, it becomes very difficult to be New Life. Many sages throughout history have believed that if one could New Life once in each of the subsequent Major Realm, the predicament of the New Life Path would be reversed.

As the torrential rain subsided, Qin Ming's transformation came to a complete end, and his body was no longer burning hot.

His vigorous activity subsided into tranquility, and the rich, unyielding vitality remained hidden within his flesh and blood. He returned to normal, and no abnormality was visible.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan stepped forward and inquired carefully, their expressions shifting between joy and frown, finally sighing, "How many people dare to be cleansed by the intense Heavenly Light of heaven?"

Currently, this is simply Qin Ming's own path.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

As Shallow Night fell and the rain and mist dissipated, the other high-ranking members of the Mountain River Academy were somewhat surprised to see that the two had bloodshot eyes.

The person in charge of the Immortal Path couldn't help but tease, "Recently, you've all been making Extraordinary Art for the young people on the New Life Path, allowing them to enter various towers to practice the extraordinary skills of the Thunder Path realm. What's going on? Did something go wrong?"

The person in charge of the Secret Sect Path at the Mountain River Academy also spoke up, "The New Life Path has a flaw, which is an unsolvable problem. To break the deadlock, we can follow the ancient methods. After all, there were also extremely powerful warriors in ancient times."

The old man on the Immortal Path chuckled, "Replacing the God Bone, mending the Immortal Skin, and boiling it in the Imperishable Furnace —the materials are hard to find these days, unless you venture deep into the Night Mist World to hunt living Godlike creatures. However, you can use the bones and tendons of ferocious monsters from your inventory as substitutes."

Clearly, the two weren't entirely joking; they were pointing out a harsh reality.

"Go away and don't bother us." Yu Gensheng waved his hand, showing no anger.

He was shocked by Qin Ming's performance and was filled with thoughts as he pondered the future of New Life Path.

The elder from the Secret Sect Path spoke up, "That young man from your New Life Path is indeed quite good, but he's struggling to break through. When he sees his peers with Immortal Seed and God Seed constantly breaking through while he remains stagnant, if his mindset becomes unbalanced, very serious problems will arise."

This time, Zhao Ziyuan and Yu Gensheng were at peace with themselves. Qin Ming couldn't keep up with the pace of his peers who Immortal Seed or God Seed? Now it's time to turn the page!

Finally, the two of them started laughing.

In the early morning of Kunlun City, the Fire Spring dyes the night sky red.

"Ming Ge, you broke through? That's great! I'm going to enter the Mid-Second Realm too!" Little Wu said.

Qin Ming had already determined that the sole survivor of the Fourth Forbidden Land High Antiquity, most likely because his cultivation had been locked away and he was refining himself.

"I can go beat Li Qingxu up again!" Little Wu rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation.

According to him, Li Qingxu had already broken through to the Late-Second Realm, but in order to embark on the Destruction-and-Rebirth Path, he intentionally suppressed himself to the middle stage, wanting to experience a hundred defeats to stimulate himself.

In recent days, Li Qingxu has begun to fight at his peak.

"I think he still needs more training," Little Wu said with a smile.

Qin Ming seemed thoughtful, then said, "He might actually be able to Break-and-Establish."

"Impossible." Wu Yaozu shook his head.

Qin Ming said, "I've heard that his teacher, Cao Qianqiu, has begun researching various methods of Break-and-Establish. Perhaps their lineage can make a strong comeback in the future."

Little Wu said, "What's there to be afraid of? By the time Lao Cao comes out of seclusion again, we should have risen to power. If he still dares to be as domineering as before, we'll suppress him and make him question his existence!"

Qin Ming's expression was serious as he said, "Don't get carried away. A Grandmaster Level figure isn't so simple. If he succeeds in Break-and-Establish and establishing the foundation, he might be able to step into the Seven-Day Overlap Domain. We'll need time to catch up!"

That very morning, they heard some not-so-good news.

The Sky Bearing Ancestor of the New Life Path ventured alone into the depths of the Night Mist World. He could no longer wait; he was too old, his flesh and spirit had decayed, and he was going to make one last desperate attempt.

Originally, this matter was to be kept secret. However, an exploration team from the Esoteric Sect saw the Sky Bearing Ancestor traveling at high speed in the Outer Domain, appearing as if the Scorching Sun were blazing across the sky.

As things stand, the New Life Path has lost a Ancestor.

In an instant, all the restlessness of Qin Ming, Little Wu, and the others on the New Life Path subsided.

People felt heavy-hearted. The Sky Bearing Ancestor would either be New Life or disappear completely from the Mortal World.

Soon, Qin Ming regained his composure and went back to being a sparring partner.

He's very dedicated as long as there's no thunder.

There was no way around it; the other party had given too much. Besides, he was also using the other party as a sparring partner to hone his various Extraordinary Art.

The fishermen are here again!

"Come on, we might have to collect the laundry again later."

Several Immortal Seed whispered among themselves, displeased with his attitude, but they tolerated it. Armor One and Armor Two believed his Heavenly Light Force was powerful enough to cleanse their Consciousness Spirit Light, possessing wondrous uses!

Li Qingxu suffered his first defeat in today's opening match.

This time, his expression changed; he was no longer as calm as before.

He looked at Qin Ming. Was the other party really at the early stage of Outer Saint? Even if he fought at his peak, he could still defeat him!

Then, he lost again!

"Sorry, I've broken through to a higher level, so I can't draw with you anymore," Little Wu said with a smile.

In the third match, Xiang Yiwu and suppressed him once again.

Qin Ming realized that the Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple in the Mid Outer Saint.

The two are of similar age, and the other has also reached this level; it can only be said that they are exceptionally talented.

However, judging from his appearance and physique, his head is bigger than two heads of others, his arms are as strong as other people's thighs, and his short hair is as hard as steel needles. He is indeed an Otherworlder among Otherworlder.

"Brother, I feel like you've become much stronger than before. Could it be that you've broken through? This speed is simply terrifying!" Xiang Yiwu leaned closer and secretly transmitted his voice, quite shocked.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you cultivating so fast?" Qin Ming asked back, equally surprised.

Xiang Yiwu transmitted his voice. "My constitution is abnormal, and I am known as the Golden Silkworm Child. I teeter between life and death, reincarnating in this Present World with a living body, going through cycles every few years."

"Living Reincarnation, and there's such a divine skill?!" Qin Ming exclaimed in astonishment.

"I was a wildly growing weed in the experimental field of the Buddha in this Present Tathagata, and now I have become somewhat of a force to be reckoned with," Xiang Yiwu said.

"This is truly an experimental field for the Buddha of this Present Tathagata!" Qin Ming believed that this was a flower of divinity and Buddhahood, not a weed, or a fellow traveler in the future.

"You used the Heavenly Light to infuse your head, that's... insane!" Xiang Yiwu was dumbfounded. He could also withstand some of the Heavenly Light, but using the extremely intense Thunderfire Heavenly Light to Golden Body was definitely not a dangerous area that he could enter at the moment.

Qin Ming asked, "Brother Xiang, you're well-informed, do you know what exactly happened on the Immortal Path that necessitates such intensive training?"

Xiang Yiwu, backed by the Buddha 'Tathagata Sect, does indeed have the latest news.

He lowered his voice and said, "The Immortal Path has discovered an extraordinary territory deep within the Night Mist World. It is said that a large delegation will be visiting our side, and will be received by the Beyond the Mundane."

"Hiss!" Wu Yaozu gasped.

Qin Ming was also surprised; had they discovered a mysterious country?

Xiang Yiwu said, "According to the agreement among the various paths, whichever path discovers a territory has priority in exploration. The Immortal Path has great ambitions, and most importantly, the other side is very special, with Immortal Tomb and a vast cluster of ruins, which may supplement the Immortal Path and open up new paths!"

"Can you handle the Immortal Path yourself?" Little Wu asked.

Xiang Yiwu said, "They're not sure either, so we'll have to get to know them well after the delegation arrives. They might even return the visit. During this process, there might be exchanges and sparring among disciples at different stages, hence the temporary training camp."

The so-called "getting things done" does not necessarily mean launching a war, but rather that when both sides are friendly, they can exchange goods and resources, assimilate each other, and eventually unite into a large territory.

Xiang Yiwu said, "The population over there is far less than ours, but I'm afraid it's a subordinate civilization, or an 'outpost,' moving around the Night Mist World like nomads, scouting for their main race behind them."

"Are they human?" Qin Ming asked.

"A humanoid race," Xiang Yiwu informed him.

He added, "It is said that they are Elf Race seemingly born from the afterglow of the Solar Yang."

Moreover, the delegation is arriving soon, and these should be the last few days of intensive training.

"Everyone, be serious, this is time for a friendly spar," Armor Three reminded them.

He asked Qin Ming to come down to the arena and help him refine his Consciousness Spirit Light.

Soon, he started howling, unable to bear it any longer. The Heavenly Light from the other party was as terrifying as "Immortal Fire," and he felt his Mental Field was about to collapse.

"Stop! You didn't break through, did you?" Armor Three was sweating profusely, his mind was in a daze, and he was panting heavily.

"I've been practicing the Thunderfire Extraordinary Art recently and have made some progress. Are you alright?" Qin Ming asked with concern.

"I'm asking you, can you handle things on your own in the Immortal Path? Are you really not going to need any outside help?" Xiang Yiwu up the old issue again.

The four sparring partners from the Esoteric Sect also smiled, indicating their willingness to lend a helping hand.

At this moment, someone sneered, and a high-level Immortal Path Disciple appeared and entered the Ascension Academy's No. 1 Martial Arts Arena.

Among them is Leng Feiyue of Sunland, a direct descendant of the Path Opening Old Monster, who is suspected of possessing Pure Yang Body.

In addition, there are Cui Chonghe from the Pure Land and Su Shiyun from the Immortal Land, both of whom were Heavenly Prodigy who had attained enlightenment at the age of three or four.

Li Qingyue also arrived, walking alongside the legendary Jiang Ran. One was dressed in white, as pure as snow, while the other wore green robes imbued with Daoist charm, standing like twin Immortal Lotus in serene stillness.

A young man in his mid-twenties, surrounded by a crowd, was none other than the renowned "Senior Brother Pei," who was able to discuss philosophy with senior figures and was also present here.

Behind them were some other people.

Immortal Seed under the age of thirty have arrived; a whole group of people have come to watch this training camp.

In fact, this wasn't their first time visiting the set.

However, Qin Ming was inconsistent in his efforts and never encountered them.

"The fishermen are here too," someone joked, mainly because they felt the guy was unprofessional and just coasting along.

"My Immortal Path doesn't require outside help. You New Life Path should use that time to cultivate diligently and improve your own realm. And you Esoteric Sect should also explore more wondrous realms. In the later stages, you'll need to borrow the power of mountains and rivers to cultivate; the path won't be easy."

"Our path has never been weaker than your Immortal Path." On the side of the Esoteric Sect, although the sparring partners were all at the Second Realm, they were not afraid of this group of people with great backgrounds.

Xiang Yiwu also spoke up, "Leaving aside the other realms, just in this Second Realm, if you ask us to come out of seclusion then, you'd better prepare a generous reward."

"You're quite confident. Don't worry, I, the Immortal Path, will take charge of all this. It's not your turn to participate yet, we haven't fallen to that level!" The speaker was Immortal Seed An Youxing, an Immortal Seed who was in the Early-Third Realm and had a good relationship with Sun Jingxiao.

He looked at Qin Ming and said, "Everyone says your Heavenly Light Force is extraordinary. Come on, try burning me."

"I have no obligation to do that!" Qin Ming refused.

Youthful rivalries are always inevitable, especially between those who walk different paths.

They had all heard that one of their sparring partners was incredibly arrogant, frequently late, left early, and was extremely perfunctory. Most importantly, he had even brutally beaten up some of their men.

For example, Li Qingxu and Sun Jingxiao became this person's sparring partners, and they would vomit blood every time.

It's obvious that this is someone they know coming to cause trouble.

"An Youxing, what business is it of yours here?" Li Qingyue asked calmly.

An Youxing was somewhat wary of her and didn't expect her to step forward so directly.

"Qing Yue, there's no need for that. With us here, he won't get hurt," Pei Shuyan said.

Clearly, this Senior Brother Pei is of a very high status, and many Immortal Seed respect him.

Mainly, he had heard from Cui Chonghe that Qin Ming was suspected of having mastered the Silk Book Method, and he wanted to see it for himself.

An Youxing up, saying, "Qing Yue, don't misunderstand, I meant no harm."

Then, he looked at Qin Ming and said, "I'm not asking you to spar with me for free. If you can shake me, I have an extremely rare and precious aura here, which I'll just give to you."

"Oh, what's that?" Qin Ming asked.

An Youxing, "An alien entity from Beyond Heaven. Half a month ago, an elder of my sect accidentally captured a ' Vermilion Bird ' in the Evil Land of Kunling."

Qin Ming asked, "You mean, you just stand there and let me burn your Consciousness Spirit Light of Heavenly Light, thus shaking you?"

An Youxing nodded.

"Are you sure?" Qin Ming asked with a broad smile.

"That's right!" An Youxing replied confidently.

"Okay!"
